Essence.
The Jewish bdellius is Sicilian and Arabian, but they are not the same as the Rumian bdellius. Both of them are resin, referred to as palm trees, we give, and as for the Meccan bdelium, we give it the fruit of the tree.
Choice.
The best type of both resins is blue, hard, bitter in taste, cleared of twigs, easily soluble, pleasant smelling. The soot from this resin has the smell of noble laurel. If Judaic bdellium is aged, its softening property turns into a drying property.
Nature.
The Meccan bdelium is cold and dry, while the other is hot at the limit of the first degree and softening, especially the Sicilian. The Arabian species dries up over time.
Actions and properties.
Bdelium dissolves even congealed blood, softens, promotes ripening, and drives away the winds. Sicilian bdellium softens more, and Arabian bdellium is drier, unless it is fresh.
Tumors and acne.
Bdelium resolves hard tumors, especially if it is diluted with the saliva of a fasting person, and also resolves all cold tumors. The Arabian bdellium, which is not the fruit of the tree we give, that is, the Judaean bdellium, eliminates the “pumps”. It is drunk boiled for internal and solid tumors.
Wounds and ulcers.
Bdelium and vinegar are smeared on the safa.
Tools with joints.
Bdelium is useful for muscle ruptures, spasms, hardening, thickening and knotting of nerves.
Respiratory system.
|Bdelium is useful for pain in the breathing tube and for tumors in it, for chronic cough and for pain in the side. Bdellium Arabian is useful for pain in the larynx and throat.
Eruption organs.
Arabian bdelium in drinks, suppositories or in the form of vapors is useful for kidney problems. It retards bleeding from kidney cones and helps against kidney stones; As part of laxatives, it prevents the formation of abrasions in the intestines. Bdelium drives urine and menstruation. It is believed that the Meccan bdellium also drives menstruation and there is no doubt that it closes the stomach and crushes stones. If you grind two mithqals of Arabian bdeliya, pure and red, and drink it in water sweetened with honey, it will cause mucus to drop. Both bdellia resolve hydrocele of the testicles, open the entrance to the contracted uterus, deflate the fetus, cleanse the uterus and resolve tumors in the anus and testicles.
Poisons.
Bdelium is useful against the bite of reptiles.
