HOME REMEDIES: FENUGREEK
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."
FENUGREEK (TRIGONELLA FOENUM-GRAECUM)
Fenugreek is a remedy against daily fevers. The seed has to be boiled in wine and taken on an empty stomach. This can be taken against quartan fever as well. Against the latter place [apart from taking the medicine orally] fenugreek poultices around the shins and feet.
(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)
