Vertues and use.
The Garden Chervil being eaten, doth mo∣derately
warm the Stomach,* 1.1 and is a certain
remedy (saith Tragus) to dissolve congealed
or clotted Bloud in the Body, or that which is
clotted by bruises, fals, &c. The Juyce or di∣stilled
Water therof being drunk, and the brui∣sed
Leavs laid to the place, being taken either
in meat or drink, it is held good to provoke
Urin, to expel the Stone in the Kidnies, to
send down Womens Courses, and to help the
Plurisie and prickings of the Sides.
The wild Chervil bruised and applied, dis∣solveth
Swellings in any part of the Body, and
taketh away the Spots and Marks of congealed
Blood by Bruises or Blows, in a little space.
