Use: |

It is chiefly used for the Diseases of the Mother, whether it be the strangling or rising of the Mother, or Hardness or Inflammations of the same, applied outwardly thereunto: or a Decoction of the Flowers in Wine with a little Nutmeg or Mace put therin, and drunk often in a day, & is an approved Remedy to bring down Womens Courses speedily, and helpeth to expel the dead Birth and Afterbirth. For a Woman to sit over the hot fumes of the Decoction of the Herb made in Water or Wine is effectual also for the same; and in some cases to apply the boyled Herb warm to the privy parts. The Decoction therof made, with some Sugar or Honey put therto, is used by many with good success, to help the Cough, and stuffing of the Chest by cold, as also to clens the Reins and Bladder, and help to expel the stone in them. The Pouder of the Herb taken in Wine, with some Oximel purgeth both Choller and Flegm, and is available for those that are short winded; and are troubled with Melancholly and Heaviness or sadness of the Spirits. It is very effectual for all pains in the Head coming of a cold caus, the Herb being bruised, and applied to the crown of the Head; as also for a Vertigo, that is a turning or swimming in the Head. The Decoction therof drunk warm, and the Herb bruised with a few Corns of Bay Salt and applied to the Wrists before the coming of the Ague Fits, doth take them away. The distilled Water taketh away Freckles & other Spots and Deformities in the Face. The Herb bruised and heated on a Tyle, with some Wine to moisten it, or fried with a little Wine and Oyl in a frying Pan, and applied warm outwardlly to the places, helpeth the wind and Chollick in the lower part of the Belly: It is an especial Remedy against Opium taken too liberally.
Venus commands the Herb and hath commanded it to succour her Sisters [Women] and to be a general strengthner of their Wombs and remedy such infirmities, as a careless Midwife hath there caused, if they will be but pleased to make use of her Herb boyled in white Wine, and drink the Decoction, it clenseth the Womb, expelleth the Afterbirth, doth the Woman all the good she can desire of an Herb. And if any grumble because they cannot get the Herb in Winter, tell them if they pleas they may make a Syrup of it in Summer. |
