Hildegard of Bingen, a major twelfth-century mystic and prophet, began having divinely inspired visions at the age of six. These visions continued throughout her life and were the source of highly honoured information on healing through a multidimensional approach to the body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

Widely accepted by physicians and religious healers of her time, Hildegard's work was lost over the centuries and has only recently been reborn through the work of the authors of this book. Hildegard of Bingen's Medicine is a groundbreaking contribution to medicine and healing. It contains translations of Hildegard's text which reflect the high point of mediaeval alchemical and healing science.

In addition, authors who have worked clinically with Hildegard's wisdom for thirty years comment upon these translations. Many will find this book to contain profound long-lost spiritual teachings.

Hildegard's deep understanding of natureβ€”trees, herbs, and animalsβ€”inspires a new vision of balance and planetary attunement.
