Speaker: Franz Fassl, pharmacist from Augsburg
Start: Friday, 9 September 2022, 6:30 pm

The lecture is divided into three parts:
- Biography: Hildegard von Bingen was born in 1098 near Alzey in Rheinhessen and died on 17 September 1179 at the age of 81.
- The principles of their healing: The essence of her philosophy is that for her, God and health belong together. Her aim is to treat the soul along with the body.
- Examples from her repertoire: Some selected remedies that Hildegard von Bingen used, such as bergamot, galangal, wormwood, sage and, as a basic foodstuff, spelt, are explained in terms of their effects and also illuminated from our contemporary perspective.
