Description: |
|
This hath a thick short grayish Root lying for the most part above ground, shooting forth on all sides other such like small pieces or Roots, which have all of them many long and great strings or fibres under them, in the ground, whereby it draweth nourishment. From the Heads of these Roots spring up many green Leaves, which at first are somewhat broad and long without any devision at all in them, or denting on the edges, but those that rise up after are more and more devided on each side, some to the middle Rib, being winged, as made of many Leaves together on a Stalk, & those upon the Stalk in like manner are more devided, but smaller towards the top than below: The Stalk riseth to be a yard high or more, somtimes branched at the top, wth many smal whitish Flowers, somtimes dash'd over at the edges with a pale purplish colour, of a little scent: which passing away there followeth small brownish white Seed that is easily carried away with the wind. The Root smelleth more strong than either Leaf or Flower, and is of more use in Medicine. |
|

|

|
Use: |
|
Dioscorides saith, That the Garden Valerian hath a warming Faculty, and that being dryed and given to drink, it provoketh Urine and helpeth the Strangury: The Decoction therof taken doth the like also, and taketh away pains of the sides, provoketh Womens Courses and is used in Antidotes. Pliny saith, That the Pouder of the Root given in drink, or the Decoction thereof taken, helpeth all stoppings and stranglings in any part of the Body, whether they proceed of pains in the Chest or sides, and taketh them away. The Root of Valerian boyled with Liquoris, Raisons, and Annis Seed, is singular good for those that are short winded, and for those that are troubled with the Cough, and helpeth to open the passages, and to expectorate Flegm easily. It is given to those that are bitten or stung by any Venemous Creature, being boyled in Wine. It is of especial Vertue against the Plague, the Decoction thereof being drunk, and the Root being used to smell unto; It helpeth also to expel the wind in the Belly. The green Herb with the Root taken fresh, being bruised and applied to the Head taketh away the pains and prickings therein, staieth Rhewms and thin Distillations, and being boyled in white Wine, and the drop thereof put into the eye, taketh away the dimness of the sight, or any Pin or Web therein: It is of excellent property to heal any inward Sores or Wounds, as also for outward Hurts or Wounds, and draweth any Splinter or Thorn out of the Flesh. |
