Hildegard of Bingen shop

Hildegard von Bingen was a nun and a true all-round scholar who lived in the 12th century and had some amazingly advanced insights about health, nutrition, and botanical healing for her time. She left behind many writings describing how certain herbs, spices, and ways of living can support both physical and mental well-being. This holistic view of people still shapes what we call the Hildegard approach today—a natural and gentle way of looking at things.

Dr. Gottfried Hertzka (1913–1997) was the founder of modern Hildegard medicine. Inspired by Hildegard's writings, he created his own formulas, treated patients with them at his practice in Konstanz, and from 1960 worked closely with the company JURA. Together, they made Hildegard remedies available to pharmacies for the first time. His book “How God Heals” is considered a classic of Hildegard teachings.

In many cases, the products combine well—for example, a herbal blend with a supportive ointment, or a potion combined with a spice treatment. However, if you take medication regularly or have health conditions, you should consult your doctor beforehand to determine whether interactions are possible. If you have a sensitive digestive system or known allergies, it's also worth taking a quick look at the ingredients list.

Our products are well tolerated and are regularly tested. However, as with any natural product, reactions can occur – for example, if you are allergic to certain plant substances or if you have very sensitive skin. If you are unsure whether you can tolerate something, try it in a small amount first or consult a doctor beforehand. If you experience severe reactions or feel unwell, you should always discontinue use.
