Hildegard von Bingen was a nun in medieval times that used nature to heal. We are still studying and rework her book on natural plants and how to heal with them. It seems like some plants dont exist anymore
Edit: she also was the first abbess leading the first female only monestary that took in especially girls from poor peasents who would otherwise only ended up with a force marriage or rape
Oh yeah its real. Romans used something to spice their meals that apperently grew all over italy greece and anatolia. Today we cant find any plant matching the looks nore the taste. But it must have been really good

There’s a bardcore artist that goes by Hildegard von Blingin. Apparently the OG von Bingen was also something of a notable musician.
I found out about Hildegard from a book called Listen to the Music that I got for my 2 year old
Crikey I wouldn’t have thoughts plants would have gone extinct so easy! interesting fact
Have you heard about the plant Siphilim? Apparently it was fairly prevalent and very highly valued in ancient times, but was lost by the middle ages.
Never heard of it, that’s one for googling thanks
Silphium
Could be that many medicinal plants are considered weeds or have very specific habitats that have been built over.

She wrote some bangers. “O Viridissima Virga” slaps.
