As a cereal grain, it is the most important staple food for a large part of the world’s human population, especially in East, South, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and the West Indies.

HILDEGARD OF BINGEN & FAMOUS SPELT CURE <\/strong>– Hildegard medicine is based on the wisdom of the saintly Hildegard (1098-1179), abbess of Bingen. The great mystic, composer and healer is considered to be the first important naturopath and herbalist of the Middle ages. Her teachings, based on the harmony between body and soul, are reflected in today’s holistic approaches to prevention and healing. Hildegard medicine taps the available healing forces of nature to treat illness by restoring disrupted balance. Hildegard emphasized nutrition, primarily with use of spelt, a type of grain; detoxification, by fasting or bloodletting; and the use of remedies from plant, animal and mineral sources. Her writings offer recipes for 12000 such remedies, which apply to the most diverse symptoms and diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spelt<\/strong> – According to Hildegard of Bingen, spelt is the „most nutritious grain“, providing „right flesh and right blood“. She recommends breads and soups containing spelt to purify the blood, strengthen the nerves and heal intestinal disorders. You can find spelt at most health food stores. The Treatment <\/strong>– First comes an examination of the person as a whole, not just symptoms but lifestyle and temperament. The nutritional therapy consists of suggesting foods that are specifically adapted to the individual patient. Then purifying procedures, such as bloodletting, are recommended. Finally, stimulating herbal remedies are prescribed. The goal of Hildegard medicine<\/strong> – Hildegard medicine is a means of regulating the systems of the body in relation to one another. The goal is to reverse the disruption of the natural balance in the body, which is the cause of the illness. This effect is achieved through appropriate nutrition, detoxification and nature based remedies. The viewpoint of mainstream medicine <\/strong>– Some aspects of Hildegard medicine cannot be explained scientifically. However, holistic approaches to illness have been successful for a wide range of patients, who respond well to treatments that include more than chemical targeting of symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n
