Benefits

In women with “flower-induced epilepsy,” sudden epileptic episodes occur; upon seeing a man, they cling to him and refuse to let go. This stems from an unfulfilled longing for a man.

Instructions for Use

Decoct in water and administer orally. If the patient refuses to take it, have someone force-feed her; she will undoubtedly curse incessantly. After a while, she will grow weary and wish to lie down; upon waking, she will feel ashamed and shut herself in her room for three days. Give her small amounts of food and drink, and she will recover on her own. After one dose, it is not necessary to administer any further medication.
