Hildegard von Bingen: The radish is more warm than cold. Leave it dug up underground in a moist place for two or three days so that it is easier to eat. When eaten, it cleanses the brain and reduces the harmful juices of the intestines. Because when a strong and fat person eats radish, it heals and cleanses internally. But he harms the sick. But if a sick person wants to eat it, he should first dry it and powder it, and to this powder he should add salt and fennel seeds. Whoever has a lot of mucus in him, powder radish and he boil honey with wine and shake this powder into it. Let him drink it after eating and on an empty stomach, and this powder will cleanse him of the mucus, and the honey will prevent him from becoming lean.
