809 Googul.--Amygris Agalocha (Roxb.) sweet and bitter, hot and
aperient; increases appetite; increases the bulk of the solids, and
is aphrodisiac; reunites fractured bones, discusses indurations;
used in disorders of wind, mucus, blood, boils, eruptions,
ill-conditioned ulcers, seminal weakness, Juzam, Soorkhbad, debility,
emaciation, sweating sickness, acne, and swellings. The older
it is the more effectual. It forms an ingredient in all favorite
formulÊ. A. Mukul. One kind is called Bhainsia Googul.
810 Goondinie.--A common fruit of Hindostan, of a red color, and fine
coat, about the size of the Khalsa, or larger, and more oval. It is
aperient, suppurant, and vermifuge. It is sweet and cool; of use in
cough and flatulence, but if taken in quantity, produces nausea.
811 Gooha.--A name for Perestpirnie; also the name of an insect like
the cricket, but larger; it makes much noise in the rains.
812 Goolur.--"Ficus Glomerata." A common fruit; when young, it is
green, but when ripe, it becomes red, and in this state it is filled
with small insects; it is said that if eaten without being opened,
it will be found beneficial for the eyes. It is called cool and dry;
some say hot and moist: but in my opinion it is cool and moist,
and decreases bile. My father prescribed it in its unripe state in
laxities of the bowels, and also in bleeding piles. The physicians of
India have described it as astringent; it is slow of digestion. The
bark of the tree is useful in ulcers, and as an external application
in severe bruises. Water drank after its use, produces pain in
the bowels. The Goolur eat with barley-meal or sugar, is useful in
giddiness and heat in the liver. Its milk applied to boils, hasten
suppuration or resolution.
Maadentezerrubad.
Goolur is cool and moist; useful in bilious complaints, heat, thirst,
and running at the nose from heat. The decoction of the bark removes
poison from wounds inflicted by the claws of the tiger, cat, or other
animal. The root bruised in water is useful in dysentery, in a dose
of two direms.
813 Goonma.--"Pharnaceum mollugo." The plant grows in waste and wild
places, and is very common. It is about a yard high, and grows in the
rains; it is many-flowered; and when young they are of a red color,
but become grey when dry, and full of small holes; they are round
and curled.
