subsection 219

219. Pulegium muntanum: i.e. wild thyme; hot in the second degree and dry in the third degree; it has the diuretic virtue. It should be collected when in flower, and it will retain its efficacy for a year if kept in a dark place. It will serve against illness, hot or cold, of the chest; also, it will help with pain and windiness of the stomach and intestines, and it will open the oppilation of the liver, the kidneys and the spleen. If it be boiled in wine, it will clean the passages of the urine, and it will cure stranguria and dysuria. The same herb serves well against illness of the joints in plasters and ointments. If boiled in wine, it will relieve women's disease.
