f. 88v, Olive oil
Fresh oil from ripe olives. Nature: hot and moderately wet. Optimum: pale, fragrant and tasty. Benefit: it loosens the stomach and kills worms. Harm: it reduces the appetite and weakens the stomach. Remedy for harm: with something astringent, such as pomegranate or quince juice, or vinegar. Effects: quickly transformed into bile. Most advisable for cold [temperaments], the elderly, in winter and in northern [regions]. Mature oil is hotter and more advisable as medicine than as food. Oil from unripe olives, however, known as onfatinum, is of a cold and dry nature and when fresh, is more advisable than mature oil. Optimum: clear, bright, fragrant and Pontic. Benefit: it is good food for healthy people, it strengthens the stomach and the gums; the liniment made of this oil prevents sweating. Harm: for the obstruction of the spleen and liver. Remedy for harm: with cinnamon and aniseed. Effects: good food. Advisable for all temperaments, ages, times and regions. However, when it becomes old, it acquires the nature of mature olive oil.
