945 Moolie or Moolug.--Hot and light, creates appetite, clears the
voice, benefits affections of the throat, the olfactory nerves,
and the three secretions; dried, it is light and very beneficial in
piles, swelling, stone and gravel. Salt extracted from the radish
in the usual way, by being dried and burned, is diuretic; useful in
suppressions of urine, and promotes digestion.
946 Motie.--Its properties nearly resembling those of Chunder Kanth,
q. v.
947 Moonga.--A name for Mirjhan; bitter and sweet; useful in disorders
of bile, heat, wind, and mucus; increases semen and is cardiac.
948 Mowlserie.--Mimusops Elengi. Bukool, H. Sweet, astringent, and
cool; causes intoxication, raises the spirits and is an antidote to
poisons. Its flowers have a sweet smell; the fruit is cool, sweet,
and astringent; improves the color of the skin, and imparts a pleasant
taste to the mouth. I have found the fruit to be cardiac and stomachic;
the root is beneficial in seminal weakness, in strengthening the loins,
and increasing the consistence of semen. Its name is also Bowlserie.

Bowlserie is cool and dry; its bark and root useful in thickening
semen, and remedying too great seminal irritability: if its bark
is boiled in milk, and as a gargle, it will remove tooth-ache. The
flowers are somewhat hot, cardiac, and stomachic; its distilled water
is intoxicating, and useful in disorders of bile, thirst, and delirium.
949 Mooslee or Mooslicund.--Sweet and cool; removes bile and heat;
increases a proper secretion of mucus, and if eaten with sweet oil,
it will relieve discharges from the nose from cold. Used with rock
salt, it will increase appetite; with water it will remove pains in the
bowels. It is of several kinds: black and white. The former resembles
the Shakakool, but the bark of the Shakakool is white, whereas this
is black; the white kind is thin, and resembles Mahi roobyan, called
also Mooslie Dukanee. Another kind is also white, and thinner than
the black kind, yet thicker than the Dukanee. All three kinds are
used in aphrodisiac formulÊ; some have called it hot, and useful in
piles and disorders of wind. If half a direm be taken with Zeera, it
will be found beneficial in Jaundice; and if taken with equal parts
of good ginger, it will cure indigestion. If eaten with the leaves
of Punskisht in equal parts, it will remedy offensive perspiration,
and with Streephill, it will remove seminal weakness; with Peepul,
it will cure Hydrophobia, and with Anula it cures intermittents.
