Tus - mulberry

Essence.
There are two types of mulberry. One of these types is firsad; it is sweet and acts in the same way as figs, promoting ripening, but only worse and less nourishing, spoils the blood and is more harmful to the stomach. Firsad has all the properties of figs, but to a lesser extent. As for the sweet and sour mulberry, called Syrian mulberry, we will now talk most about it. If dried unripe, it replaces sumac.

Nature.
The sweet mulberry is hot and moist, while the sour mulberry, Syrian, is somewhat cold and moist.

Actions and properties.
Mulberries are astringent and cooling, and the squeezed juice is very astringent, especially if boiled in a copper vessel. Mulberries, especially unripe ones, prevent the flow of bad juices to the organs. Unripe mulberry is similar to sumac.

Cosmetics.
If you boil mulberry leaves, grapevine leaves and black fig leaves in rainwater, they will turn your hair black.

Tumors and acne.
Sour mulberry delays the formation of tumors in the mouth and throat, and its leaves are useful against toads and sore throats.

Ulcers.
Dried sour mulberry, as well as its squeezed juice, helps with malignant ulcers.

Organs of the head.
Thickly boiled sour mulberry juice is useful for acne in the mouth, and a decoction of its root loosens teeth. Gargling the mouth with juice squeezed from sour mulberry leaves is beneficial for toothache.

Nutritional organs.
Mulberry is harmful to the stomach. It, especially firsad, spoils the stomach, but if firsad does not spoil the stomach quickly, then it will not harm at all. Therefore, all varieties of mulberries should be eaten before other foods and with an unspoiled stomach. As for the Syrian mulberry, it does not harm the stomach, in which bile predominates, and is not as bad for the stomach as firsad, although it is generally bad. It does not cause nausea and has little nutritional value. Mulberry stimulates the appetite for food, makes food slip through and removes it quickly. In general, its descent from the stomach occurs quickly, but it lingers in the intestines.

Eruption organs.
Tart, salted and dried mulberry strongly occludes the stomach and is beneficial for dysentery. The tear of the mulberry tree laxes, and its bast has cleansing and laxative properties, but it laxes more than it cleanses. The sweet mulberry quickly descends from the stomach, either due to its inherent acridity or due to its moisture. The archigen says: “The mulberry slowly comes out and drives away urine,” - I believe that this refers to the sour mulberry. With its laxative nature, mulberries sometimes prevent chronic diarrhea and ulcers in the intestines, especially dried mulberries. All varieties of mulberries drive urine. Syrian mulberry, although it quickly leaves the stomach, lingers in the intestines. There is bitterness in the bast of its tree and therefore its bast in the form of a medicinal bandage drives away worms and “pumpkin seeds”.

Poisons.
Mulberry bark serves as a teryak against hemlock. If you drink one and a half ukiyya, the squeezed juice of its leaves, it will help against a karakurt bite. It softens nature due to its moisture and swelling ability.
