Culpeper said ‘The receipt is a pretty concoctor of Melancholy, and therefore a rational help for diseases arising thence, both internal and external; it helps diseases of the skin, as Leprosies, Cancers, Warts, Corns, Itch, Tetters, Ringworms, Scabs, &c. and it is the better to be liked, because of its gentleness. It helps Surfeits exceedingly, cleanses, cools, and strengthens the Liver, and causes it to make good Blood, and good blood cannot make bad flesh. I commend this receipt to those whose bodies are subject to Scabs and Itch’.
