St. Hildegard's Garden

"Healing body and soul through the wisdom of a Doctor of the Church."

Nearly a thousand years ago, St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179) — mystic, scholar, composer, and Doctor of the Church — cataloged hundreds of herbs, plants, and remedies drawn from nature and prayer. Her insight was radical then and remains remarkably relevant today: that our health is bound up with our reverence for God's creation.

In this beautifully illustrated hardcover, journalist and natural health author Paul Ferris faithfully brings Hildegard's wisdom into modern life. From better digestion and sleep to improved mood, memory, and pain relief, her remedies speak to the whole person — body, mind, and soul.
