Clove
Cloves strengthen the stomach, liver, and heart, help digestion, and provoketh urine.
The Portugal women that dwell in the East Indies draw from the Cloves when they be yet green, a certain liquor by distillation, of a most fragrant smell, which comforteth the heart, and is of all Cordials the most effectual.
Cloves stop the belly: the oil or water thereof dropped into the eyes, sharpens the sight, and cleanseth away the cloud or web in the same.
