HOME REMEDIES: NUTMEG
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." NUTMEG (MYRISTICA FRAGRANS) The tree that yields nutmeg is hot. Its fruit, the nutmeg, has great warmth and excellent powers. Ingesting nutmeg brings about an uplift of spirit and a sound mind. As a remedy against BITTERNESS OF HEART AND SOUL take equal amounts of nutmeg and cinnamon, include some cloves, grind those spices to powder, and add some flour and water. The resulting dough is formed into biscuits. This remedy opens the heart, softens emotions and, additionally, reduces all bad juices [in the organism], enhances the quality of the blood and makes you resilient and strong .
