The Power of the Rose

Course Description

The Power of the Rose by Dr. Sebastian Liew

Presented by Dr Sebastian Liew (Doctor of naturopathy), a medical herbalist and the first specialist in phytotherapy (Western herbal medicine) in Singapore, “The Power of the Rose” was one of the highlights of the recently concluded International St. Hildegard Medicine Conference, 2024, at Lake Konstanz. This engaging excerpt from the lecture explores the rose plant’s profound medicinal and emotional significance, as St. Hildegard von Bingen documented.

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Liew emphasised Hildegard’s holistic approach to healing, rooted in her concept of “viriditas” or the “greening of life.” This concept reflects the interconnectedness of plants, human well-being, and divine purpose. With its spiritual and physical healing properties, the rose exemplifies how natural remedies can benefit both body and mind.

“The Power of the Rose” gave attendees a unique opportunity to delve into the historical and practical applications of Hildegard’s wisdom, bridging traditional herbal practices with modern naturopathic insights.
