Hart’s Tongue Fern Natural Cold Remedies and Liver Tonic
“Hart’s tongue is warm and helps the liver and the lungs, and intestinal pain. Make a tea using hart’s tongue fern, long-pepper, and cinnamon and drink it often before and after eating, it benefits the liver, cleans the lungs, heals aching intestines, and takes away the inner rot and mucus.”- Hildegard of Bingen.
Hart’s tongue is a species of fern that was Hildegard’s best remedy for a dry, persistent cough that just won’t go away.
Prepare the following:
Simmer 3 heaping tablespoons of Hart’s Tongue Fern in 1 1/2 to 2 liters of wine for 5 minutes, then add ½ cup of honey and simmer for 5 more minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of long pepper and continue simmering another 5 minutes, then strain through a sieve.
Long pepper (Piper Longum) is a flowering vine that is a closely related to the common black and white pepper, but is hotter.
Dosage: in the 1st week take the equivalent of a shot glass 3 times daily, after the first week, take the same before and after dinner for 6-8 weeks.
Hildegard believed in a functional relationship between the liver and the lungs. According to this relationship, a persistent dry cough may be the result of irregular liver function. Mucus develops in part due to liver metabolism, and may signal the rise of bronchitis and lung infection.
In addition to the strengthening of the liver and lungs, Hildegard believed that her hart’s tongue remedy supports hormone regulation in abdominal ailments, thyroid issues, and pancreas dysfunction.
A perennial fern, hart’s tongue is protected in Germany as a healing plant and is commonly cultivated in natural healing gardens, consistent with Hildegard’s natural cold remedies.

Hildegard of Bingen, a major twelfth-century mystic and prophet, began having divinely inspired visions at the age of six. These visions continued throughout her life and were the source of highly honored information on healing through a multidimensional approach to the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Widely accepted by physicians and religious healers of her time, Hildegard’s work was lost over the centuries, and has only recently been reborn through the work of the authors of this book. Hildegard of Bingen’s Medicine is a groundbreaking contribution to medicine and healing. It contains translations of Hildegard text which reflect the high point of medieval, alchemical, and healing science. In addition, these translations are commented upon by authors who have worked clinically with Hildegard’s wisdom for thirty years. Many will find this book to contain profound, long lost spiritual teachings. Hildegard’s deep understanding of nature--trees, herbs, and animals--inspires a new vision of balance and planetary attunement.
