mundify

Mundify, mun′di-fī, v.t. to cleanse, purify.—adjs.

Ulcers ought to be well mundify'd, dry'd and cicatriz'd; but with respect to the several Causes and Accidents that render 'em obstinate, and difficult to be cur'd, it is also requisite to make use of internal Medicines, which may restrain and consume 'em.

Poultices made from the herb are applied to cleanse and heal chronic sores, which, as Gerard teaches, "they do scour and mundify."

The same in Powder, and a Lotion made thereof, is much used by the Savages, to mundify old Ulcers, and for several other Uses; being highly esteem'd among them.
