HOME REMEDIES: GARLIC

 

  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."


GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM)

Garlic has the right warmth. It grows through the force of the dew from the beginning of the night right until daybreak. 

It is better suited for food than leeks - both for the healthy and the sick

Garlic has to be eaten raw, though, because the cooking process makes it powerless, similar to wine that has gone off. It should be eaten in moderate amounts only - otherwise the blood would become overheated.

(From: Physica, St Hildegard of Bingen)
