One of two major medical treatises by medieval healer Hildegard von Bingen, presented in its entirety for the first time in English during the 900th anniversary of her birth.

 

  • A seminal text in the development of Western herbal medicine
  • Presents nine categories of healing systems - Plants, Elements, Trees, Stones, Fish, Birds, Animals, Reptiles and Metals - and elaborates on their medicinal use
  • Closely related to Eastern medical approaches that are gaining respect today
  • Saint, mystic, healer, visionary, fighter, Hildegard von Bingen stands as one of the great figures in the history of women
At a time when few women could write and most were denied a formal education, Hildegard von Bingen became a legendary healer, visionary, musician, artist, poet and saint. Her works include 27 symphonic compositions; Scivias, a compilation of her visions; and two major medical works, Causae et Curae, a medical compendium, and Physica, published here in English in its entirety for the first time.

 

Physica has a strong affinity with the Eastern medical approaches gaining respect today. The modern reader interested in natural healing will recognize the truth in the theories of this 12th-century physician, which remind us that our cures for illness depend on our natural world.
