Lubna - styrax

Essence.
Lubna is Maya, and its flowing form is called Lubna honey. And styrax is a tear from a tree similar to a quince. In the chapter on istiraks, we have already said what we said, and we will say it again, although this will be a repetition. It is also said to be the oil of another Rum tree.

Choice.
The best kind of styrax is the one that flows by itself, honey-like, gum-like, with a pleasant smell, yellowish, but not black, like moles. Sometimes flowing styrax, similar to myrrh, is found and is counterfeited with oils and honey, which is first boiled with oil in the sun and then squeezed.

Nature.
Hot in the first degree, dry in the second.

Actions and properties.
It has the power of opening, strongly softening, warming, and absorbing. Its soot is like the soot of incense; by its nature it causes numbness. Its oil, which is produced in Syria, has a strong emollient effect.

Tumors and acne.
It is useful against hardening in meat, and it is used to lubricate dry and wet pimples, mixed with oils.

Wounds and ulcers.
It is used to smear wet and dry jarab, and is an excellent ointment for such a disease.

Tools with joints.
Styrax strengthens the limbs and, in the form of a drink or ointment, is useful for “joint plexus.” It is also included in anti-exhaustion oils.

Organs of the head.
Raw or dry styrax, when fumigated with it, delays catarrhs; this is the best remedy for a runny nose; Styrax, especially its oil, has the property of inducing hibernation.

Breast organs.
Styrax helps with chronic cough, mucus congestion and sore throat and clears a hoarse voice, causing great soothing.

Nutritional organs.
Styrax promotes digestion.

Eruption organs.
Styrax softens the nature. In the form of a drink, or if it is inserted into the vagina, it significantly drives urine and menstruation and softens the hardening of the uterus; Dry styrax blocks the stomach.

If you drink one bowl of dry or liquid styrax with an equal amount of almond gum, this will remove viscous mucus without suffering.

Substitutes.
It is replaced by an equal amount of beaver stream and double the amount of jasmine oil
