The kitchen poisons - Hildegard von Bingen


The kitchen poisons - Hildegard von Bingen

The strawberry


"... the fruits, namely strawberries, also cause mucus in people who eat them, and they are not suitable for eating by either healthy or sick people..."


The Peach


“...Eating the fruit of this tree is good neither for a healthy person nor for a sick person, because it destroys the good mixture of juices in a person and creates mucus in his stomach...”


Peaches promote mucus formation, especially in the stomach and intestines, and can therefore worsen metabolic disorders.


The allium


"And when eaten raw it is as bad and destructive to man as a poisonous, useless herb, because it turns the blood and the putrefaction and the juices of man into the opposite..."


The plum


"...it is harmful and dangerous to eat the fruit of this tree...as dangerous as eating a poisonous herb..."
