A heading of ours (added October 2026), not the 1850 index’s. It holds sentences the index would have filed under “Wounds”, read for direction: here Culpeper says the plant causes or harms, or the index heading did not fit.
Modern reading: wounds. Searched in PubMed as each plant’s Latin name with "wound healing" OR wounds OR "wound infection". The counts and papers are on the Concordance page.
A note on the heading
Plain sense
A saying Culpeper passes on with a dry aside (our reading), not a claim of his own: eating mint keeps a wound from healing.
What the entries treat
1 claim: 1 with a sentence, 0 from the index alone: one sentence a keyword search had filed under Wounds and the verb pass (2026-10-26) moved here. Mint, in Culpeper’s reporting voice: “they say a wounded man that eats Mint, his wound will never be cured, and that is a long day”.
(none; search aids only) mint; wound healing — no modern condition corresponds; the words are search aids only.
How it reads today
No modern condition and no modern counterpart: folklore Culpeper reports (“they say”) and half-mocks (“that is a long day”; our reading). A heading of ours, from the verb pass: under Wounds it would have read as a remedy, so a reader looking for help would have found its opposite. The word is under CND-0162.
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 “Wounds”, but in each sentence Culpeper says the plant harms it. They are listed so his words stay on record, not as a remedy.
