The fruit, -Carota, (Ph. U. S.) -and the root, Dauci radix, have been used in medicine. The root is sweet and mucilaginous; and the seeds have an aromatic odour, and moderately warm, pungent taste. The root has been used, as an emollient, to fetid and ill-conditioned sores. The seeds have been regarded as stomachic, carminative, and dinretic; but they have little efficacy. The seeds of the wild plant are, by some, preferred to those of the garden.
