In the middle ages Masterwort was thought to be a remedy against every disease,
as we can easily see from the strong name.
The root was not only used for medicinal use but also for magical purposes.
But later the Masterwort was nearly forgotten.
When Hildegard von Bingen was rediscovered the Masterwort was rediscored too,
because Hildegard liked the plant a lot.
