It takes away black and blue marks in the Face, and maketh black Scars become wel colored, if the green Herb (not the dry) be boyled in Wine and laid to the place, or the place washed therwith. Being applied to the Hucklebone, by continuance of time it spendeth the humors which caused the pain of the Sciatica. The Juyce dropped into the Ears killeth the Worms in them: The Leavs boyled in Wine and drunk provoketh sweat, and openeth Obstructions of the Liver and Spleen; it helpeth them that have a Tettian Ague (the body being first purged) by taking away the cold Fits. The Decoction herof with some Sugar put therto afterwards, is very profitable for those that be troubled with the overflowing of the Gal, and that have an old Cough, and that are scarce able to breath by the shortness of their wind: That have any cold distemper in their Bowels, and are troubled with the hardness of the Spleen, for al which purposes, both the Pouder called Diacalaminthes and the Compound Syrup of Calamint (which are to be had at the Apothecaries) are most effectual.
Let not Women be too busy with it, for it works very violently upon the Foeminin parts. |
