St. Hildegard (1098-1179)
was one of the most remarkable women of the Middle Ages. The Benedictine abbess of a monastery near Bingen, Germany, Hildegard was a mystic, musician, artist, writer, and preacher, as well as adviser to bishops, popes, and kings. As a scientist and healer, she promoted natural medicine that integrated physical, psychological, and spiritual healing. She explored the curative power of natural objects, wrote about medicinal uses of plants, animals, and trees, and proposed principles for a balanced diet. Her feast day is September 17.
