COriander commonly called Coliander. The seed is most in use, and is moderately hot and drie, which is proved by that it breaketh winde, and resol∣veth impostumes,* 1.1 though Dioscorides think it to be of cooling nature. It is thought to be very hurtfull and to
cause madnesse, and therefore reckoned of Dioscorides, among poysons; which is to bee understood (as Mat∣thiolus upon the same place noteth) of the immoderate use thereof, and especially when it is prepared;* 1.2 for it should never bee used neither in meate nor me∣dicine, except it have beene first steeped in Vineger by the space of three dayes:* 1.3 it is used to bee made in Confits, which in my judgement are most wholesome for Students of all other sorts; for being eaten after meate, they doe not onely strengthen the stomacke, but also represse the vapours ascending to the head, and therefore good to stay a rhume, a common and a continuall adversary to Students;* 1.4 and Simeon Se∣thi affirmeth, Semen Coriandri stomacho bonum esse & eun∣dem corroborare, ••ibumin ventriculo retinere, donec probe con∣coquatur. Which last property is verie good to helpe a Rhume, because that commonly it proceedeth of indi∣gestion. Wherfore I advise al such as be much troubled with Rhumes, to use after their meales, some Corian∣der Confits.
