Framed Print of Fig Tree, Medicinal Plant, 1737
"A Curious Herbal", Plate 125. Blackwell recommends figs for coughs, shortness of breath, and diseases of the breast, as well as smallpox and measles, "which they drive out." In modern times, syrup of figs has been used as a laxative. Fig trees or figs (Ficus) is a genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the family Moraceae. Figs are used for their mild, laxative action, and are employed in the preparation of laxative confections and syrups, usually with senna and carminatives. They are demulcent as well as nutritive. Demulcent decoctions are prepared from them and employed in the treatment of catarrhal affections of the nose and throat. May also be applied as emollient poultices to gumboils, dental abscesses and other circumscribed maturating tumors. Elizabeth Blackwell (1707-1758) was a famed Scottish illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal" (1737). © NLM / Science Source
