Anjura - nettle

Essence.
The color of its seeds is similar to the color of leek seeds, but nettle seeds are yellower, more shiny and not so long. It burns everything it touches, even the intestines.

Nature.
Nettle and its seed are hot at the beginning of the third degree, dry in the second, its seed is less dry than itself.

Actions and properties.
This medicine is attractive, ulcerating, highly dissolving, burning, although some doctors say: “It does not warm very much.” Nettle has the ability to swell, strongly cleanses pores and burns ulcers. If you boil it with meat, the meat will interfere with the action of the nettle.

Tumors and acne.
In a medicinal dressing with vinegar, nettle causes abscesses to open, helps with them, and is beneficial for hardening. Its seeds in the form of a medicinal dressing help against cancer; its ash has the same effect.

Wounds and ulcers.
Nettle ash with salt helps against ulcers resulting from dog bites, malignant ulcers and cancerous tumors.

Tools with joints.
A medicinal bandage made from nettle and salt helps with “nerve contraction.”

Organs of the head.
Crushed nettle leaves stop nosebleeds, and nettle seed helps with loss of smell and powerfully opens blockages in the ethmoid bone. Nettle seed in the form of a medicinal bandage facilitates tooth extraction; the use of a medicinal bandage from it helps with tumors behind the ears and inside the glands.

Respiratory and chest organs.
When given to drink in barley water, nettle cleanses the chest. Or, nettle leaves are boiled in barley water, and then they remove the thick juices in the chest. Nettle seed has a stronger effect: it eliminates asthma, “standing breathing” and cold pleurisy.

Eruption organs.
Nettle arouses lust, especially its seed with boiled wine, and opens the mouth of the uterus, so that it receives the male seed. Nettle has the same effect if eaten with onions and eggs. If you introduce it together with myrrh in the form of a candle, it drives menstruation and opens the uterus; the same thing if you drink a decoction of nettles and myrrh. A medicinal dressing of fresh nettle leaves supports the protruding uterus and drives away mucus and unripe juices due to its purifying properties, but not due to the laxative power inherent in nettles. Nettle oil is more laxative than safflower oil; A decoction of nettle leaves along with shells softens the nature. And if you want the stool to be liquid, take some nettle pulp, grind it with oatmeal, throw it into wine and drink. But it is necessary that the person taking this medicine then drink a little rose oil so as not to burn his throat. Candles are sometimes made from nettle mixed with honey; they are inserted into the anus and remove bad juices.
