HOME REMEDIES: BEANS

 

  St Hildegard writes:

"When God created man, a different type of earth was used to form him. Henceforth, all substances were subject to man, because they sensed that in him was life, and they endeavoured to aid him in him in all his efforts, and man's aim, in turn, was to help them."


BEAN (VICA FABA)

The bean is warmgood food for healthy and strong people, it surpasses the pea. Even for the weak, the bean is not exactly harmful because it does not create as much mucus.

Bean flour is good for the healthy and the sick because it is easy to digest. For diseases of the bowels, boil beans to pulp in water, add fat or oil and consume this concoction regularly.

(From: Physica, St Hildegard of Bingen)
