MINT
« Of all the kinds of mint, the spear mint, or heart mint, being most usual, I shall only describe as follows:
Government and virtues. It is an herb of Venus. Dioscorides saith it hath a healing, binding and drying quality, and therefore the juice taken in vinegar, stays bleeding. It stirs up venery, or bodily lust. Applied with salt, it helps the biting of a mad dog; with mead and honeyed water, it eases the pains of the ears, and takes away the roughness of the tongue, being rubbed thereupon. Applied to the forehead and temples, it eases the pains in the head. It is also profitable against the poison of venomous creatures. The distilled water of Mint is available to all the purposes aforesaid, yet more weakly. But if a spirit thereof be rightly and chymically drawn, it is much more powerful than the herb itself. Being smelled unto, it is comfortable for the head and memory. »
