An Irish Materia Medica (Author: Tadhg Ó Cuinn)

subsection 144

144. Galitricum: i.e. clary; hot and dry, but to what degree is not ascertainable from the books; it will provoke menstruation and the urine if a bath be made of it from the navel down. If the juice of this herb and bile of cock be applied to the eyes as an eye-wash, it will help with eye-darkness. Item, if the same herb be boiled in barley water and hart's tongue fern, maidenhair spleenwort, violets and stitchwort be boiled well with it and diluted with honey and white of egg, it will help with excessive heat of the liver and lungs.
