Healing through Food according to Hildegard of Bingen: 400 Recipes - 200 Remedies - 130 Foods

More than 800 years ago, the Benedictine nun Hildegard of Bingen laid the foundations for an exceptionally effective healing art through food, which still makes it possible today to prevent and treat a very large number of diseases. Hildegard gives pride of place to spelt, fruits and vegetables, and aromatic herbs.

She describes foods according to their healing virtues, because food is always also a remedy.

This guide is a true Bible of healthy daily eating, rich, practical, and documented, with a presentation of the virtues of foods, more than 400 recipes for the whole family, and 200 natural remedies classified by illness (digestive, cardiac, circulatory disorders, allergies, rheumatism...)

Wighard Strehlow, Doctor of Science and naturopath, directed the Saint Hildegard sanatorium on the shores of Lake Constance between 1993 and 2003 and has published several reference works on Hildegardian medicine, most of which have been translated into French.
