Hildegard von Bingen: The moisture of the herb has the right mixture in it and is useful for healthy and sick people to eat. It makes those who have a sad mind happy, and it heals the eyes of man and makes them clear. But if anyone suffers from nausea, let him take caraway seeds, a third part of caraway seeds, and a fourth part of bibernell, and powder them. Then he takes pure breadcrumbs and adds the powder to the flour, and makes biscuits with egg yolks and a moderate amount of water. But also eat the aforementioned powder, sprinkled on bread. It suppresses the warm and cold juices in the intestines that make people sick.
