HOME REMEDIES: WATERCRESS
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."
WATERCRESS (NASTURTIUM OFFICINALE)
Watercress is warm, its general consumption is neither very useful nor does it do much harm.
To combat JAUNDICE, however, and against FEVER and POOR DIGESTION, watercress is heated in a frying pan and taken warm.
(From: Physica, St Hildegard of Bingen)
