y espesas. La yerba no es para nada. Las raíces desta yerba muélese mojadas. Y los que sienten demasiado calor interior y tienen la cara incendida, bébenla, y también le rocían la cara y los ojos con ella. [H]ase de echar en [a]gua clara para beber y para rociar con ella, y hácese el agua como morada. Y hácese sudar al que la bebe. Hácese en las montañas.
\n.56. Hay otra yerba medicinal que se llama acocoxíhuitl. Es mata. Las hojas, angostas y larguillas. Las ramas, artillas. Las hojas y ramas no tienen virtud ninguna. La raíz es algo quemosa y tiene olor como de yerba. Mulida dase por tristel. También a beber una poca, revuelta con agua. Al que tiene apostema en el miembro, o dentro, o echa materia por la urina, y que se va secando todo el cuerpo, con esta purga toda la enfermedad. No ha de ser muy espesa el tristel ni lo que se ha de beber, ni ha de ser caliente, ni ha de, ni ha de [sic, repetido] comer cosa caliente. Templa el calor interior esta medicina. Esta yerba se hace en las montañas.
\n.57. Hay otra yerba medicinal que se llama icelehua. Es arbusto. Tiene las hojas
