Indian Turnip Poultice. Toko of the tops and roots of Indian turnip, if green if dir, the roots only simmer in water, and add slippery elm bark sufficient to form a poultice. This poultice is used in the treatment of scrofula with the best effect. It is superior to every other poultice in scrofula, in a state of swelling and inflammation. 

Rapeseed/Canola belongs to the turnip rutabaga, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and mustard family of crops that can be grown at low temperatures and moderate humidity. Three species have been grown as oilseeds Brassica napus, known in Europe as rape, oil rape, Swede rape, and Argentine rape B. campestris, known as rapeseed, oil turnip, turnip rape, and Polish rape and B. juncea, known as leaf mustard, brown mustard, Oriental mustard, and Indian mustard. B. campestris was grown in India as early as 2000-1500 BC.

Instead, most of them supplemented their diets by collecting edible wild plants with which they were familiar. Instead of the potatoes, carrots, radishes, parsnips, beets, and turnips known today, Indians relied on wild roots and tuljers. They also collected various nuts, fruits, greens, and seeds.
