Theriac

I don't think the theriac formula with 64 ingredients (from c. 18th Century) mentioned at the beginning of this thread is any good for VMS purposes. It contains Cymbopogon citratus (from the West Indies) and Balsamorhiza deltoidea (from British Columbia and NW US). I don't think they would have been found in any of the older recipes. (There may be more anachronistic ingredients on the list - I stopped looking at two.)

Does anyone have an earlier formula or group of formulas that better fit(s) the early Fifteenth Century?

Thank you.
