Preparation:
Powder and mix with Lettuce water and Black Nightshade water; form Triangular Troches
Function:
Relieves Pain
Use:
Used topically (which is why they were formed into a Triangular shape, so they would not be confused) on the forehead for Headache and Insomnia.
Dose:
Applied topically.
They can be mixed with a suitable distilled water into a paste to be applied to the pulses and temples, or applied to a painful part.
Cautions:
None noted
Modifications:
This, and recipes like it, were almost certainly used internally sometimes, although were officinally listed for external use only.
They were apparently formed into triangular Troches, as opposed to regular square Troches so they would not be confused and accidently taken internally.
