HOME REMEDIES: 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."


MILLET (PANICUM MILIACEUM)

Millet is cold, only slightly warm

It does neither increase the blood nor the flesh, and it does not provide man with strength. It merely bloats the stomach and causes the brain to become watery. 

In fact, [due to its lack of usefulness] millet is hardly distinguishable from a weed.

(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)

FAVOURITE MEDIEVAL HEALING FOODS:
