Plants


Slippery Elm:  The finely powdered bark prepared as an ordinary gruel has shown definite results in all diseases involving a multitude of illnesses. It has remarkable healing and cleansing qualities internally or externally, with which it comes in contact with. The gruel, eaten in small amounts often, has the nourishing value equivalent to oatmeal.

Sunflower: This plant has golden-rayed flowers resembling the sun. Perhaps, the value the seeds hold are that of the sun, as it amazingly has the ability to face the sun from morning until sunset.

From the Alumni Research Foundation the sunflower is known to contain the following:

Phosphorus, calcium, iron, fluorine, iodine, potassium, magnesium, sodium (natural form only 0.4mg.), protein, thiamine, niacin, and vitamin D.

The sunflower seed is respected for vital natural nourishment. Archeological discoveries have revealed that sunflower seeds were found in clay containers over 3,000 years old. This indicates that the use and cultivation of the sunflower seed, along with the power of the sun’s energy in growing the sunflower, was regarded as an important factor by other civilizations.

Almond: The simple almond written of by Hildegard includes that the bark, the leaves, and the sap are not good for remedies. All the energy is concentrated within the fruit. The nut eaten will give strength to him or her that eats it. Included in this book is further writing on the almond and in varied amounts to eat.
