Secret manuscripts shed light on which herb was used for what in the Middle Ages. One of the most interesting facts is that about the cornflower.
From the revealed secrets of medicine of the Middle Ages it is clear that during this period the monks were most actively engaged in the cultivation of the herb. They planted it around and in their monasteries. To this day, around the ruins of most monasteries is found cuckoo.
John the Exarch wrote that the monks used cornflower as a universal remedy for all diseases. According to him, the medicinal herb served to eliminate long-term suffering. This property attributed to him in the Middle Ages today finds its justification.
Interested in information about the properties of cornflower, a number of scientists and doctors set out to find out to what extent they are true. Studies of the composition of cornflower show that the plant contains a number of substances that have a calming effect, while slowing the heart rate.
In parallel with this property, however, the presence of dangerous toxins was found in parsnips. They far outweigh the benefits of eating cornflower. Therefore, today the oral use of the herb is prohibited.
Other evidence that has survived to the present day shows that, although it was known for its healing powers in antiquity and the Middle Ages, the long-term use of cornflower for medicinal purposes always ended in fatal accidents. Studies today show that eaten in larger quantities, cornflower leads to certain death.
The botanical name of the plant - Helleborus - also signals its detrimental properties. It consists of two Greek words - hellein (kill) and bora (food).
Nowadays, there is a belief in the villages that the hen should not be imported or raised near the hen house. If they peck it, they will never lay eggs again.
Nowadays, cornflower is used only for external use. It treats hair loss and dandruff. To do this, boil 25 g of cornflower roots in 250 ml of water and 250 ml of vinegar until the liquid has evaporated in half.
The liquid is filtered and rubbed into the hair roots half an hour before washing. The procedure is repeated twice a week for a month.
