Ana, my question was more specific. I am well aware both of _Physica_ and of
_Causes and cures_.
However, I want to know, where exactly Hildegard wrote about the topics you
mentioned and what exactly she wrote.
Please quote the work and the relevant passage in question.
One of the reasons I am asking: there is much strange folklore floating around
about Hildegarde, therefore I am trying to check the evidence from her works.
Thank you!
E.
