HOME REMEDIES: MANDRAKE
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."
MANDRAKE (ATROPA MANDRAGORA)
The mandrake is warm, a little watery and comes from the earth from which Adam was made; it (actually the root) is somewhat similar to humans. This is precisely why this plant is more exposed to the whispers and simulations of the devil than other plants.
When the root is dug, it should immediately be placed in spring water for one day and one night, in order for all evil and repulsive things to be sucked out of it. [It helps against the temptation to be UNFAITHFUL IN MARRIAGE - the husband as well as the wife.]
(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)
