Medieval saint, mystic, healer, and visionary-Hildegard von Bingen
has made a comeback. She is now popular in natural healing circles,
in medieval and women's studies, and among those interested in
investing the everyday with the spiritual.
Hildegard's Healing Plants is a gift version and new translation of
the 'Plant' section of Physica, Hildegard's classic work on health
and healing. Hildegard comments on 230 plants and grains-most of
which are still grown in home gardens and sold at local health food
stores. In one of many entries on women's health, Hildegard writes,
'Also if a pregnant woman labors much in childbirth, let someone
cook pleasant herbs, such as fennel and assurum, in water with fear
and great moderation, squeeze out the water, and place them while
they are warm around her thighs and back, tied gently with a piece
of cloth, so that her pain and her closed womb is opened more
pleasantly and easily.'
Whether read for the sheer enjoyment of Hildegard's earthy,
intelligent voice ("Let a man who has an overabundance of lust in
his loins cook wild lettuce in water and pour it over himself in a
sauna") or for her encyclopedic and often still relevant
understanding of natural health, "Hildegard's Healing Plants" is a
treasure for gardeners, natural healing enthusiasts, and Hildegard
fans everywhere.
"Hildegard's Healing Plants" includes 230 plants and grains-most of
which are still grown in home gardens and sold at local health food
stores.
