HOME REMEDIES: WHITE DEAD-NETTLE



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."


 WHITE DEAD-NETTLE (LAMIUM ALBUM)

The white dead-nettle is warm and those who enjoy it like to laugh because its warmth affects the spleen and thus cheers the heart.

Against the GROWING WHITE SPOT IN THE EYE, the fresh plant should be placed in spring water overnight, and then sauteed in a pan over the fire. Afterwards it is to be tied over the eyes while still warm, for three days and three nights.

(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)
