This overview of Hildegard of Bingen’s wellness wisdom shows how
modern readers can apply the medieval nun’s teachings on herbs and
nutrition to live a balanced and healthful lifestyle today
Saint Hildegard was ahead of her time. Born in the German Rhineland, the
12th-century nun established a series of guidelines for holistic
wellness that continue to be remarkably relevant nearly a millennium
later.
This handy guide explains who Hildegard was and why she is still worth
listening to today. Delving into her enduring theories for a healthy
body and mind, it delivers
• an overview of Hildegard’s understanding of how the human body operates;
• Hildegardian nutrition tips (eat spelt!);
• information on her 50 favorite herbs and medicinal plants and how they
can be used to address various ailments—for example, bay laurel for
gastrointestinal complaints, garlic to lower blood pressure, masterwort
to combat fever, and rosemary to treat coughs and colds; and
• an introduction to her ideas on herbal cosmetics and gemstone medicine.
Sharing Saint Hildegard's timeless knowledge with a modern audience,
this sketch of the trailblazing nun promotes a holistic approach to
well-being that continues to resonate even within the fast pace of our
contemporary lifestyle.
