HOME REMEDIES: GREEN SPURGE
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."
GREEN SPURGE (EUPHORBIA ESULA)
Green spurge is considered a poison. It has a sudden warmth which burns a person's flesh, but at the same time it also contains an inferior moisture, which is detrimental to human flesh.
According to the ancient philosophers of medicine, its only benefit is that it is sometimes added to some laxative drinks against CONSTIPATION. It increases the effects of those medicines in so far as the evil found in the human body is thus driven out by another evil.
(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)
