Sorry ,but at that time I typed everything in Capital letters [found that easier]
AND A TU BISHWAT FULL OF HEALTH.
SOME “QUOTES” FROM OF THE BOOK OF: HERBS OF THE BIBLE BY JAMES A. DUKE Z”L
FIGS MAY HOLD THE CURES FOR DIABETES, CANCER, AIDS.BENZALDEHYDE,FOUND ,IN FIGS HAS BEEN USED TO TREAT VARIOUS CANCERS DECOCTION[ BOILING] OF FIG LEAF TAKEN WITH MEALS FOR A MONTH LOWERED INSULIN-DOSES FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES BY 12%.[GUMS. NECK, LIVER, UTERUS,TESTICLES]
DRIED FIGS ARE A USEFUL SOURCE OF BORON ,WHICH HELPS PREVENT BONE-LOSS[OSTEOPOROSIS]THE LATEX FROM FIGS[ “CHALAV”,] THE MILKY SAP THAT RUNS OUT WHEN A BRANCH IS BROKEN] I S USEFUL AGAINST WARTS AND CORNS [“JABELOT'”]AFRICANS DROP THE MILKY SAP [LATEX] FROM FIGS IN ANT [NEMALIM] HOLES O DRIVE AWAY THE ANTS.
SOME FURTHER ASPECTS, NOT SPECIALLY MENTIONED BY DUKE BUT FROM VARIOUS OTJER SOURCES]”FIGS MAY STRENGTHEN BRAIN-POWER AND HELP AGAINST NERVOUS DEBILITY [WEAK NERVES.A DECOCTION HELPS FOR CHEST CONGESTION, PNEUMONIA ETC[ LECHA, SHI-UL, DALEKET REOT]
PERSONALLY, I HAVE GIVEN IT AS A COMPRESS WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS AGAINST TOOTH-ABSCESSES AND FOR BOILS [FURUNCLES] ]YOU OPEN THE FIG, SOFTEN IT IN BOILING WATER AND APPLY ONE HALF. TO THE SPOT TO BE TREATED
AN INFUSION [CHALITA] OF THE FRESH LEAF HELPS CIRCULATION [GOOD FOR HEART AND VESSELS ]AND MAY BRING ON A DIFFICULT MENSTRUATION.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: FIGS ARE EXCELLENT AGAINST CONSTIPATION AND MAY BE A USEFUL ADDITION IN THE TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION. THEY ARE RICH IN POTASSIUM [ASHLAGAN] AND SEEM TO HELP TAKE [TRANSPORT]SALT “OUT” OF THE CELL.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, BEAUTIFUL BOOK ADVISED TO ALL THE READERS WHO LIKE READING ABOUT TORA AND HEALTHY FOOD/FRUITS ]
MARPE HABOSEM BY RAV MOSHE COHEN SHAOULI [Z.L] THE BOOK IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, CALLED: NATURE’S HEALTH BY RABBI MOSHE COHEN SHAOULI [Z’l] AND RABBI YAAKOV FISHER[THE ONLY “CORRECTION” TO THE BOOK WOULD BE-IN MY OPINION- NOT TO USE SAGE [SALVIA][MARWA] TO PROMOTE LACTATION [NURSING MOTHERS]IT MAY STOP THE MILK RATHER ThAN PROMOTE IT.]
