f Bingen's wellness wisdom shows how modern readers can apply the medieval nun's teachings on herbs and nutrition to live a balanced and healthful lifestyle today

Saint Hildegard was ahead of her time. Born in the German Rhineland, the 12th-century nun established a series of guidelines for holistic wellness that continue to be remarkably relevant nearly a millennium later.

This handy guide explains who Hildegard was and why she is still worth listening to today. Delving into her enduring theories for a healthy body and mind, it delivers
- an overview of Hildegard's understanding of how the human body operates;
- Hildegardian nutrition tips (eat spelt!);
- information on her 50 favorite herbs and medicinal plants and how they can be used to address various ailments--for example, bay laurel for gastrointestinal complaints, garlic to lower blood pressure, masterwort to combat fever, and rosemary to treat coughs and colds; and
- an introduction to her ideas on herbal cosmetics and gemstone medicine.

Sharing Saint Hildegard's timeless knowledge with a modern audience, this sketch of the trailblazing nun promotes a holistic approach to well-being that continues to resonate even within the fast pace of our contemporary lifestyle.
