¶ The Vertues.
The leaues of Yarrow doe close vp wounds, and keepe them from inflammation, or fiery swel∣ling: [ A] it stancheth bloud in any part of the body, and it is likewise put into bathes for women to sit in: it stoppeth the laske, and being drunke it helpeth the bloudy flixe.
Most men say that the leaues chewed, and especially greene, are a remedy for the tooth-ache. [ B]
The leaues being put into the nose, do cause it to bleed, and ease the paine of the megrim. [ C]
It cureth the inward excorations of the yard of a man, comming by reason of pollutions or ex∣treme [ D] flowing of the seed, although the issue do cause inflammation and swelling of those secret parts, and though the spermaticke matter do come downe in great quantity, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the juice be injected with a syringe, or the decoction. This hath been prooued by a certain friend of mine, sometimes a Fellow of Kings Colledge in Cambridge, who lightly brused the leaues of common Yarrow, with Hogs-grease, and applied it warme vnto the priuie parts, and thereby did diuers times helpe him∣selfe, and others of his fellowes, when he was a student and a single man liuing in Cambridge.
One dram in powder of the herbe giuen in wine, presently taketh away the paines of the colicke. [ E]
