2 δύναμιν δὲ ἔχουσι δριμεῖαν ἀμφότεραι, ὅθεν ὁ χυλὸς τῆς ῥίζης αὐτῶν ῥινὶ ἐγχυθεὶς πρὸς κεφαλῆς κάθαρσιν ἁρμόζει· καὶ μασηθεῖσα δὲ ἡ ῥίζα ἄγει φλέγμα, ἑψηθεῖσα δὲ ἐν γλυκεῖ καὶ καταπλασσομένη ὀφθαλμῶν φλεγμονὰς ἰᾶται καὶ τὰς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς οὐλὰς ἀποσμᾷ· ἀνακαθαίρει δε καὶ τὰ ῥυπαρὰ τῶν ἑλκῶν. τὰ δὲ φύλλα καὶ οἱ καυλοὶ συνεψηθέντα πτισάνη καὶ ἐσθιόμενα γάλα κατασπᾷ, ἐν προσθέτῳ δὲ ἔμμηνα ἄγει, καταπλασθέντα δὲ λέπρας ἀφίστησιν.
