Aqua omnium florum : ウィキペディア英語版 | Aqua omnium florum ''Aqua omnium florum'' or all-flower water was water distilled from cow-dung in May, when the cows ate fresh grass with meadow flowers. It was also known less euphemistically as ''aqua stercoris vaccini stillatitia'' (distilled water of cow dung). This was used as a medicine to treat a variety of ailments including gout, rheumatism and tuberculosis. The 17th century court physician George Bate favoured it and it appeared in the ''Pharmacopœia Bateana'' — ''Bate's Dispensatory''. Recipes included:〔 The latter prescription was used as a panacea by a female doctor in Bate's time. Many incurable cases were brought to her which she treated in this way and she made a great fortune of £20,000 from this practice.〔 ==''Urina vaccina''== Cow tea or ''urina vaccina'' (cow's urine) was sometimes called ''aqua omnium florum'' too.〔 This was used as a purgative for which the dosage would be "half a pint drank warm from the cow". It was drunk by women in May to clear their complexion.〔
