Printed in the 1850 edition’s “A List of the Principal Diseases” as “—— (inflammations of)” under “Womb, (cold infirmities of)” (the dash stands for the heading above it, or its first word); shown here as “Womb (inflammations of)”.
Modern literature has not yet been searched for this heading’s claims: it comes only from the 1850 index and has no search words yet.
A note on the heading
Plain sense
An inflamed womb: heat, pain and swelling in it. One index name and no sentence, so Culpeper’s own use is not on record under this heading.
What the entries treat
1 claim: 0 with a sentence, 1 from the index alone. Schœnanth, listed in the 1850 index (page 247) under a name the book has no herbal entry for; no sentence is on record.
inflammation of the uterus; endometritis (when it is the lining); pelvic inflammatory disease (when the infection is wider) — a broad match: the heading covers more than this, or several modern things.
How it reads today
Inflammation of the womb has modern names, endometritis for the lining and pelvic inflammatory disease for the wider infection, and the heading could mean either; with no sentence under it there is nothing to match them to. A pointer only. The word is under CND-0155.

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.
