Nature.
Hot, dry to the third degree. Iris oil and jasmine oil are hot and dry to the third degree. Nettle oil and safflower oil are hot in the first degree and moist in the second degree. Narcissus oil is hot in the second degree, wet in the first degree. Wallflower oil is hot, moist in the second degree, just like ban oil and bitter almond oil; oil from the ends of the vine, oil of roses and apples are close to each other in their cooling and astringent properties, as well as quince oil. Chamomile oil is moderately hot, dill oil is similar to it, but warms more. Narcissus oil is close in its strength and effect to dill oil, but is sharper in smell and therefore not as suitable for the head as dill oil. Violet oil does not have astringent properties, but is somewhat cooling; Rue oil dissolves.

Here we will not talk about the production of oils and will talk about this in the Pharmacopoeia, and we will also not mention oils composed of many drugs, such as bush oil and gorse oil, about their preparation and beneficial properties and will do this in the Pharmacopoeia.

Actions and properties.
Almond oil, especially bitter almond oil, is an opening agent, while apple and quince oils are astringent and cooling. Chamomile oil - relieves pain, eliminates compactions and dispels fumes, and iris oil softens, strengthens organs, opens and soothes pain. Myrtle oil gives strength to the organs, strengthens them and cools them more than quince oil; it traps leaking liquids.

Rue oil strongly dissolves swelling and acts like bay oil, but hotter; both soothe chronic pain and dispel winds. The oil of the bush is useful for various types of pestilence and gives a pleasant smell to the body and air. Cosmetics.

Bay oil is suitable for treating fox disease. Myrtle oil strengthens the places where hair grows, strengthens and darkens hair. Bush oil keeps hair young.

This is especially helpful if you apply this mixture with boiled wine to areas covered with dandruff.

Tools with joints.
Almond oil helps with sprains, and chamomile oil helps with exhaustion. Iris and dill oil have the same effect and are useful for frostbite.

Organs of the head.
Almond oil helps with headaches, beating, ringing and whistling in the ears.

Bitter almond oil is a very healthy and gentle remedy. It is most useful for the ears, for blockages and ringing, and against worms that grow in the ears. Rose oil helps very well with inflammation of the brain and with the onset of tumors. This oil increases brain power and intelligence; it is almost balanced in nature and therefore Galen claims that it warms a very cold body and cools a very hot one. The most correct thing in his judgment, in my opinion, is that rose oil more often balances a hot body than warms a cold body.

Bay and rue oils are good for chronic headaches, and fenugreek oil helps with dandruff. Castor bean oil helps against ulcers on the head and tumors that form there, as well as ear pain.

Castor bean oil loosens and removes pumpkin seeds. Almond oil is good for pain in the kidneys and urine retention due to stones, for pain in the bladder and in the uterus and for its “suffocation.” Iris oil facilitates childbirth; in the form of a drink or an enema, it soothes pain in the uterus in all these cases. Fenugreek oil also helps; it is useful for hardening of the uterus or abscesses in it and for difficult childbirth. Castor bean oil helps against tumors in the anus, with compression and bending of the uterus.

Chamomile oil is better for prolonged fevers than rose oil, and dill oil is good for chills.
