HOME REMEDIES: FOXTAIL MILLET

 

  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."


FOXTAIL MILLET (PANICUM ITALICUM)

Foxtail millet is cold. It contains but little warmth and therefore little strength. However, foxtail millet is not quite as useless as [ordinary] millet (Panicum miliaceum).

In case of SPIKING TEMPERATURE foxtail millet is boiled in wine. This remedy must be drunk while it is warm.

(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)
