[Sca-cooks] period mention or use of catnip?

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

Ok this is from Hildegarde of Bingen's Physica:
"Catnip (nebetta) is hot. A person with scrofula, which has not yet 
ruptured, on his neck should pulverize catnip. He should often eat this 
powder with bread or in a puree, or in little cakes, and the scrofula 
will vanish If the pustules are broken, place fresh, uncooked catnip 
leaves over them. the scrofula will dry up."
