effect on all parts of the body that it comes into contact with and is used in the treatment of sore throats, indigestion, digestive irritation, stomach ulcers etc. It is a nutritious food that was made into a type of pudding for those who had weak
stomachs and as a food that was a nutritive tonic for the old, young and convalescents. It is soothing to irritated tissues and has been used externally in poultices for its ability to encourage healing in fresh wounds, burns and scalds.
