If the aspect of Hildegard of Bingen's work that you are interested in is her medicinal lore, then this work will save you hours of wading through her theological writings hunting for her specific recommendations on herbs and health. The main reason I don't give it a higher rating is that the authors deliver Hildegard's writings as if they were prescriptions, and she recommended some dubious (but acceptable to Medieval thinking) substances such as whale meat and vulture beak powder!

If you are interested in your health and nutrition with a spiritual element to it, this book is perfect! I loved this book and have recommened it to many of my friends. I have used alot of the nutrition recommendations, spelt, fennel,and almonds and have seen an improvment in my health.

Everyone is borrowing this book from me constantly!

I wish they had more information in it, more items. I also bought Physica, but it's on back order for 1/2 year!!! That book has everything in it. But this is a good handy reference guide and definitely helps. I had a cold and followed her advice and it went away swiftly.

This is one to keep with your reference books, (or in a medicine cabinet!)
