tree common in India; hot and light; useful in disorders of the eyes;
creates appetite; restrains diarrhoea, cures disorders of wind,
mucus, acne, and swellings of the body, affections of the spleen,
boils, and eruptions, and cleanses the blood. It is of three kinds;
the second kind, which is red, is said to be aperient and astringent;
in other properties the same. Its flower is heavy and astringent;
cures disorders of mucus, swellings of the body, and increases the
wind. The people of India use its flowers as a pickle in oil, and my
father used to recommend this pickle to those of a cold temperament,
but it is prejudicial to the eyes; it is thus prepared:
The flowers are put into water for a day, and washed; a little
mustard seed added, and the whole put into serson oil. This pickle
is less hot than the plant. Pickle made from the root, removes wind;
the leaves bruised and applied to ulcers, cleans and heals them.
