Frensye."[111] Lavender is of "especiall good use for all griefes and paines of the head and brain,"[112] and sage[113] is of "excellent good use to helpe the memory by warming and quickening the senses." Parkinson gives more beauty recipes than any other herbalist. For those who wish to darken their hair he recommends washing it with a decoction of bramble leaves.[114] The golden flowers of mullein[115] "boyled in lye dyeth the haires of the head yellow and maketh them faire and smooth." The ashes of southernwood[116] mixed with old salad oil will cause a beard to grow or hair on a bald head, and yarrow is almost as good; garden spurge, elder flowers, broom, madder, rue, gentian, scabious, betony, elecampane, Solomon's Seal, the great hawkweed and lupin are all excellent to "cleanse the skinne from freckles, sunburn and wrinkles."[117] The French women "account the distilled water of pimpernell mervailous good to clense the skinne from any roughnesse deformity or discolouring thereof and to make it smooth neate and cleere."[118] The Italian dames, however, "doe much use the distilled water of the whole plant of Solomon's Seal."[119] Lupin seems to have the most remarkable virtue, for not only will it take away all smallpox marks, but it will also make the user "look more amiable"! Many women, therefore, "doe use the meale of Lupines mingled with the gall of a goate and some juyce of Lemons to make into a forme of a soft ointment."[120] Parkinson is the only herbalist who gives recipes to enable people to get thin and also to look pale. "The powder of the seedes of elder[121] first prepared in vinegar and then taken in wine halfe a dramme at a time for certaine dayes together is a meane to abate and consume the fat flesh of a corpulent body and to keepe it leane." For those who like to look pale he recommends cumin seed and bishopsweed.[122] And "for a sweet powder[123] to lay among linnen and garments and to make sweet waters to wash hand-gloves or other things to perfume them" he recommends the roots of the sweet-smelling flag.
