Snowdrops are potent ingredients used in various memory enhancing potions. Because of this, most magical hospitals keep a well-stocked supply of this plant.
Snowdrops are associated with the constellation Athena, and the elements Earth and Water.

争议:Moly与Galanthus Nivalis(雪滴花)
有观点认为,关于雪花的最古老的记录(Galanthus nivalis L.)是荷马史诗《奥德赛》中发现的,其中雪花被描述为“moly”,并被Odysseus用作Circe有毒药物的解毒剂(Plaitakis and Duvoisin, 1983)。
Historically, the first evidence for the mind-affecting properties of galantamine come from Homer’s Odyssey, where, some scholars argue, Homer describes Odysseus using the snowdrop to clear his mind of Circe’s bewitchment: ‘the root was black, while the flower was as white as milk; the gods call it Moly’.
*根是黑色的,而花像牛奶一样白,这一描述确实与雪滴花相符

The decoction taken for four days driveth away and cureth tertian and quartan agues. It is also good against diseases of the brain, as continual headache, falling sickness, melancholy, drowsiness and dulness of spirits, convulsions and palsies.'
(Germander是)对所有蛇类的毒最有效的,配合酒饮用,并将草药涂抹在受伤处……与蜂蜜一起饮用,可以清洁溃疡,若制成油,并将它涂抹在眼睛上,可以减轻晦暗和潮湿。(Germander)对腰痛和痉挛也有好处……煎剂服四天,可驱除三日疟疾和四日疟疾。 它还可以治疗脑部疾病,如持续头痛、晕倒、忧郁、嗜睡、精神迟钝、抽搐和麻痹。
