HOME REMEDIES: LUNGWORT

 

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."


LUNGWORT (PULMONARIA OFFICINALIS)

Lungwort is cold and a little bit dry; it is not really useful for a person's health.

If, however, someone's LUNGS ARE SWOLLEN ,so that he keeps COUGHING and CAN HARDLY BREATHE, a remedy of lungwort boiled in wine is taken regularly. 

Lungwort is beneficial for sheep to eat, if they eat much of it they become healthy, put on weight and produce much milk.

(From: St Hildegard of Bingen, Physica)
