Hildegard of Bingen was a 12th-century nun, mystic, prophet, and healer. In a series of books, she relayed messages from God that ranged from the metaphysical to the practical, along with divinely inspired recipes said to cure everything from leprosy to lung disease to the common cold. For matters of melancholy, try her “cookies of joy” (or “nerve cookies”), wielding the key ingredients of spelt flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves to “calm all bitterness of the heart and mind, open your heart and impaired senses, and make your mind cheerful.” Worth a shot. |
