  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." SORREL (RUMEX ACETOSA) Firstly, sorrel is neither  warm  nor  cold .  Eating sorrel is not  useful ; it would cause melancholy in man. Beasts, however, benefit from sorrel - especially  cattle .
