Gerard writes: The roots are very good for all inward diseases, driving away ventosities or windinesse especially of the stomacke. The seed thereof warmeth the stomacke, helpeth digestion; wherefore The people of Gennes in times past did use it in their meates as wee do pepper…. The distilled water of Lovage cleareth the sight and putteth away all spots, lentils, freckles and rednesse of the face, if they be often washed therewith."
Preparation: Liquid extract: Dose, 5 – 30 min.
