HOME REMEDIES: PEAS

 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."


PEA (PISUM SATIVUM)

Pea (Pisum sativum). The pea has a negative effect on the lungs; it makes them heavy. This effect is due to the pea being cold and slightly phlegmatic. 

Peas are not recommended to people who are ill or sickly.

(From: Physica, St Hildegard of Bingen)

FAVOURITE MEDIEVAL HEALING FOODS:
