Source Type Physical type of source Literary source Translation When the menstrual blood is phlegmatic and membranous, and the woman is fleshy, the mouth tends to be very moist, and copious and sticky saliva abounds. If the woman consumes vinegar or something pungent, the saliva becomes more liquid and insipid. Everything she eats or drinks causes her discomfort: the stomach swells, and they experience nausea and great anguish. From the head comes down a flux which obstructs everything and brings a lot of moisture. The area under the eyes is livid and swollen. These women should be put in steam baths for the entire body and vomit frequently, both after having had food and on an empty stomach. They should soften the lower abdomen with very light medicine that purges as little bile as possible. They should eat only one meal a day, and exercise frequently, and use the driest possible diet, drinking very little and only undiluted liquids. It is better that the belly remains free from burdens.
