Treatment of head wounds

As for the use of bones for such wounds and the terrible phenomena arising from them, this is discussed in the paragraphs on bones and their reduction, and in relation to medicines that build up meat in ulcers, we will say that for external ulcers the slightest light and drying agent is enough. Sprinkle medicine on them with a medicine for the head, prepared from sabur, myrrh, frankincense and dragon's blood. The mild medicines mentioned in the paragraphs on wounds are also good. If there is bleeding, it is treated with the medications mentioned in the paragraphs on bleeding. The wounded should be fed fried chicken brains as much as possible, as some doctors testify, they strengthen the brain and stop bleeding, but there are other opinions on this matter. Sweet and sour pomegranate juice also helps, and bandages for such wounds are prepared from a shepherd's staff.

Good medicines for wounds and bleeding include the following: take sour dry leaven, grind it and sprinkle it on the wound without moistening it. As for the means to prevent tumors, this is the application of bandages with barley flour or white wheat flour mixed with lanolin. Barley oatmeal with mint helps with crushing, and other methods of treatment are borrowed from the paragraphs on bones.
