HOME REMEDIES: COMMON HOREHOUND

 


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."


COMMON HOREHOUND (MARRUBIUM VULGARE)

Horehound is warm and cures various conditions.

[Heated in water] and applied on the ears so that the warm steam enters into them and envelopes the head helps if you are HARD OF HEARING

Horehound boiled - with some wine added - relieves a SORE THROAT

Against COUGH prepare a mixture by boiling horehound in wine, to which some fennel and dill is added.

(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)
