The "World of Herbs" volume "Digestive Herbs" is a tribute to the most famous abbess in the world. The mother of all herb witches, Hildegard von Bingen, is much more than a spiritual cult figure of the Middle Ages. Behind the walls of her monastery, she brewed healing potions and laid the foundation for modern nutrition guidelines. Hildegard's instructions still apply today. She always emphasized that a healthy lifestyle is only possible in harmony with nature. Plant-based foods are therefore indispensable for a health-conscious diet and should not only play an important role in vegan and vegetarian nutrition models. Carnivores as well should reach for the greens more often. Hildegard's favourite herbs such as fennel are still considered the holy grail of a digestive-friendly diet. And other classics against digestive problems come from her collection, too. The first volume of the "World of Herbs" series introduces them.
