HOME REMEDIES: OATS

 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."


OAT (AVENA SATIVA)

The oat is warm; it is an excellent and wholesome food. Ingested by man it brings about a cheerful spirit, a clear and lucid mind, a healthy colour and strong flesh. 

Oats are recommended to those who are WEAK; the really sick, however, do not benefit from them. 

If PARALYSIS DUE TO WEAR OUT occurs, so that a person's mental capacities are affected, he shall take baths with water in which oats have been boiled, which is rewarmed by pouring it over red hot stones.

(From: Physica, St Hildegard of Bingen)
