A heading of ours (added October 2026), not the 1850 index’s. It holds sentences the index would have filed under “Coughs”, read for direction: here Culpeper says the plant causes or harms, or the index heading did not fit.
Modern reading: cough. Searched in PubMed as each plant’s Latin name with cough OR antitussive OR expectorant. The counts and papers are on the Concordance page.
A note on the heading
Plain sense
As the parent: Culpeper says the walnut makes a cough worse in hot-bodied people, by breeding choler.
What the entries treat
One warning the verb pass (2026-10-26) moved out of “Coughs”: the Walnut tree, which “in hot bodies cause the choler to abound and the head-ach, and are an enemy to those that have the cough”.
(none; search aids only) cough; walnut — no modern condition corresponds; the words are search aids only.
How it reads today
No modern condition; a caution about who should avoid a food, in the language of the humours. A heading of ours: the verb pass of 2026-10-26 moved the warning off the help heading it was filed under, so a reader looking for cough remedies would not find the opposite among them. The word itself is under CND-0035.
ThinkDeep333, 2026-10-28 · draft, not yet checked. Offered beside Culpeper’s heading, never in its place; nothing here says whether a plant works.
Old claims, quoted verbatim: not medical advice. A warning sits above the claims and never hides them; no warning does not mean safe, only that no source here has flagged the plant.
This heading is ours. A keyword search had filed these under “Coughs”, but in each sentence Culpeper says the plant harms it. They are listed so his words stay on record, not as a remedy.
