It is one of the most singular Wound Herbs that is, and therfore highly prized and praised by the Germans, who use in al Wounds inward and outward, to drink the Decoction thereof and wash the Wounds therewith, or dip Tents therein and put them into the Wounds, which wonderfully drieth up al hu∣midity of the Sores, and abateth Inflamations therein. It quickly healeth al green Wounds, not suffering any corruption to remain behind, and cureth old Sores though Fistulous and hollow.
Venus claims the Herb as her own.
