Description: |

The common Mugwort have divers Leavs lying upon the ground, very much devided, or cut deeply in about the Brims somwhat like Wormwood but much larger, of a dark green colour on the upper side and very hoary white underneath. The stalks rise to be four or five foot high, having on it such like Leavs as those below, but somwhat smaller, branching forth very much toward the top, whereon are set very small pale yellowish Flowers like Buttons, which fall away, and after them come small Seed inclosed in round Heads: The Root is long and hard with many smal Fibres growing from it, whereby it taketh strong hold in the ground, but both Stalk and Leaf do die down every yeer, and the Root shooteth anew in the Spring. The whol Plant is of a reasonable good scent, and is more easily propogated by the Slips, than by the Seed. |

|
Mugwort is with good success put among other Herbs that are boyled for Women to sit over the hot Decoction, to draw down their Courses, to help the Delivery of the Birth, and expel the Afterbirth, as also for the Obstructions and Inflamations of the Mother. It breaketh the Stone, and causeth one to make water where it is stopped: The Juyce thereof made up with Mirth, and put under as a Pessary, worketh the same effect, and so doth the Root also, being made up with Hogs Greas into an Oyntment, it taketh away Wens and hard Knots and Kernels that grow about the Neck and Throat, and easeth the pains about the Neck more effectually, if some Field Daisies be put with it. The Herb it self being fresh or the Juyce thereof taken, is a special Remedy upon the overmuch taking of Opium. Three drams of the Pouder of the dried Leavs taken in Wine, is a speedy and the best certain help for the Sciatica. A Decoction thereof made with Chamomel and Agrimony, and the place bathed therewith while it is warm, taketh away the pains of the Sinews and the Cramp.
This is an Herb of Venus, therefore maintaineth the parts of the Body she rules, and Remedies the Diseases of the parts that are under her Signs, Taurus and Libra. |
