HOME REMEDIES BY SAINT HILDEGARD OF BINGEN

  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.
