The plant exudes a pleasant aroma that has a beneficial effect on the human nervous system; various mental functions are the main area of ​​action of chervil, although there are others. Macer Floridus wrote about them in detail in the 15th century:

Chervil is marked with very sharp and hot power.
Grated with honey - it heals canker sores;
Drinking with wine, it can often calm the condition
Pain in the side if you apply this herb crushed.
Drinking with rich honey, it removes harmful mucus;
By boiling olive oil and spreading it, it will drive away chills;
If you crush it and dissolve it in strong vinegar,
With this drink you will drive out worms and worms of all kinds;
Together with wine, it causes urine and cleanses the regula.
Old lard and wax, if you mix white with it, -
The remedy is not only for abscesses near the ear, but for any swelling
Can heal or moderate when applied frequently.
If chervil is chewed soaked in strong vinegar,
Often he will be able to restrain both vomiting and a weak stomach;
If you apply chervil grated to the pubis and drink
The juice from it - for urine it will open any shutters;
They also treat dizziness with a decoction of chervil;
Often washing the head of sick people with a heated decoction,
