What is Hildegard Von Bingen's Physica : The Complete English Translation of Her Classic Work on Health and Healing about?
<p><br>One of two major medical treatises by medieval healer Hildegard von Bingen, presented in its entirety for the first time in English during the 900th anniversary of her birth. <p>• A seminal text in the development of Western herbal medicine <p>• Presents nine categories of healing systems--Plants, Elements, Trees, Stones, Fish, Birds, Animals, Reptiles, and Metals--and elaborates on their medicinal use <p>• Closely related to Eastern medical approaches that are gaining respect today <p>Saint, mystic, healer, visionary, fighter, Hildegard von Bingen stands as one of the great figures in the history of women in me. <p>At a time when few women could write and most were denied a formal education, Hildegard von Bingen became a legendary healer, visionary, musician, artist, poet, and saint. Her works include twenty-seven symphonic compositions; <i>Scivias</i>, a compilation of her visions; and her two major medical works, <i>Causae et Curae</i>, a medical compendium, and <i>Physica</i>, published here in English in its entirety for the first time. <p><i>Physica</i> has a strong affinity with the Eastern medical approaches gaining great respect today.
