AMARANTH. The amaranth flower, taken as a drink, crushes those who are tormented by stomach ache & blood flow, & stops the months & flowers of women. It is astringent, refrigerant & desiccant.

There is also a sort of Amaranthus that bears a white flower, which stops the whites in women, and the running of the reins in men, and is a most gallant antivenereal, and a singular remedy for the French pox [Amaranthus retroflexus]. [Culpeper]
