An Irish Version of Gualterus de Dosibus (Author: Walter de Agilon/Galterius Agilinus)

paragraph 77

Blanca is so called because blancam and white thing are the same. This because it purges the white humors, i.e. the phlegmatic humors . For that reason it is suitable for cephalalgy caused by phlegmatic humor, for sore eyes, for paralysis, and for epilepsy.

Theodoricon anacardium is so called because of the fruit named anacardium which enters into it. It purges phlegmatic humor of the head effectively, and, in particular, the back portion, and for that reason refreshes the memory. It cures vertigo, and is suitable, likewise, for diseases of the womb which come from a cold cause.
