“This electuary is very good, and more precious than gold, since it carries away migraine and diminishes the vapor which the raw pear created in a person’s chest. It consumes all bad humors in a person, and so cleanses the person, just as a vessel is washed of its impurities.”
Saint Hildegard of Bingen (“Physica”)
