Malabathron
Dublin Core
Title
Malabathron
Description
It has the same properties as nardus but does everything more forcibly. Malabathron is more diuretic and better for the stomach. It helps inflammation of the eyes pounded into small pieces, boiled in wine, and rubbed on. It is put under the tongue for sweetness of the breath, and it is put among clothes for it keeps them from moths and scents them sweetly.
