Essence.
There are many types of rennet, and we will talk about each of them in the chapter devoted to the animal from which it is obtained.
Choice.
The best type is hare rennet.
Nature.
Rennet of all types - hot, dry, fiery.
Actions and properties.
Rennet dissolves everything that has thickened - blood, curdled milk, thick juice - and thickens everything that has melted. Rennet of all types has the ability to tear and prevents any discharge and bleeding in women. All types of rennet are liquefied and, no doubt, also dried. Galen says: “No rennet is used in such a place where binding is required.”
Organs of the head.
Rennet of all types, when given in drink, helps against epilepsy, but seal rennet is especially useful.
Respiratory and chest organs.
Rennet dissolves blood clotted in the lungs.
Nutritional organs.
Taken in vinegar, it dissolves milk that has curdled in the stomach, as well as blood that has thickened in the stomach; in itself it is harmful to the stomach.
Eruption organs.
The introduction of rennet in the form of suppositories after monthly cleansings promotes conception, but if you drink it after cleansing, it will not allow you to get pregnant. Rennet also helps against “suffocation of the uterus,” especially seal rennet. Rennet is useful for the treatment of pain in the uterus and has a beneficial effect on ulcers in the intestines, especially foal rennet.
Poisons.
Rennet of all types is an antidote and helps against hemlock poisoning. The most suitable for this purpose is the rennet of a kid, gazelle, baby camel and lamb. For poisons and all kinds of bites, they give her three obols to drink. At one time they drink ten carats of rennet in boiled wine. Kid's rennet is an antidote to furbiyun.
