My pleasure. I discovered a lot of stuff while learning more about one of my favorite Medieval women, St. Hildegard of Bingen (Link), a German Benedictine of the 12th Century.

When I was breastfeeding my firstborn, I learned that to promote the abundance of milk, she prescribed beer and "sweet spiritual music"!

Just last October, Pope Benedict XVI gave her the title "Doctor of the Church".
