A selection of medicinal herbs - pimpernel root (pimpinella saxifraga) - introduction

        A SELECTION OF MEDICINAL HERBS - PIMPERNEL ROOT (PIMPINELLA SAXIFRAGA) - INTRODUCTION
In the Middle Ages, women must have often sat talking and exchanged advice on all sorts of subjects. The medical practitioner often lived miles away from a hamlet or fortified castle and there were no telephones to summon him or her. Sometimes it might have happened that some young noblewoman was unable to give her new-born baby sufficient milk and, often within the walls of the castle itself, some wise old woman would be found to give advice. Later, a young girl would be hustled through the gates and over the drawbridge with orders to find some pimpernel roots somewhere outside. Having been well washed, these roots would be placed in the noblewoman's bosom and within 6-8 hours there would be so much milk that the pimpernel roots would have to be quickly removed and thrown away.
Thus, old stories and records tell us of the wonderful effect produced by the little pimpernel. Today we have other remedies that may be easier to come by and apply (for example Ricinus communis 3x) but wherever the pimpernel may be found, it should prove to be as great a help as it was in days of old. Nursing mothers might try to discover whether its effect is as good as the old records say it is.
