A humorous introduction to the female body for children aged three and over.

"Lina looks carefully when others are naked,
from head to toe, completely unpacked."

Lina has long known that her sexual organ is called the vulva - and not "down there" or "between the legs" (unlike many people who still confuse or misname the vulva and vagina).

This picture book accompanies the curious, happy, alert little girl on her journeys of discovery, where she sees how different not only underwear but also naked bodies look. You can feel her self-confidence because she is allowed to feel comfortable in her body and she is explained what she wants to know.

Lina's entertaining journey is complemented by informative knowledge about body hair and hygiene, nudity and growing up.

From the foreword by the three designers of LINA:
With this children's book we want to make a contribution to giving growing people natural access to the body, especially to the vulva!

Marlene Warelopoulos, the “grandmother” of the herbal drugstore kitchen, has “cooked” both customers and us herbal druggists for many years and held countless cooking courses together with Anda Dinhopl.

Her – fortunately “imitative” – art of seasoning and preparing wholesome, vegetarian dishes is recorded in this book.

The recipes are easy to explain and to cook and taste delicious: soups, sauces, casseroles, cakes and the “classics” from the herbal drugstore such as our vegetable cake and oat cookies.
There is also a short, clear explanation of Ayurvedic nutrition.

The book is also suitable for anyone who is not interested in Ayurveda but appreciates good vegetarian cuisine.

Goddesses don't age

Regena Thomashauer's book is a bit “American”, a bit exalted, but refreshing and lively. After all the profound, serious and critical books that we have read - and will continue to read with interest - PUSSY is a pleasantly enjoyable read that Anda Dinhopl recommends to everyone!

It accompanies us on a wonderful journey to ourselves, to our wishes, our desires, our longings.

It motivates us to live bolder, crazier, happier and more sensual, because female pleasure holds infinite energy potential!

And instead of tying up our energy in concerns, we tell ourselves more often: JUST DO IT!

A BOOK FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, which is not just about smoking and the rough nights, but about much more: about the energetic relationship between people and space (home, workplace).

Sigrid Csurda-Steinwender is an interior designer and geomancer. She has long been concerned with the topic of "living better, working better, living better" and makes people aware of how closely people and spaces are connected. In this book she gives helpful suggestions on how to get rid of stressful vibrations in your own four walls.

It supports you in clearing out and redesigning your own environment, in setting up and in dealing with people and yourself.

Here are some quotes:

The energy fields underlying the room create its unmistakable atmosphere with which every person resonates.

The memory of our space remembers everything that happens in a space over time.

Spaces should not restrict or limit, but should be used and understood as support for the development of our full potential. That's why it's advisable to cleanse and clear the energy field of your home from time to time.

An essential key to strengthening life and space design is to stop from time to time in the rapid passage of time - consciously look and perceive what is - and then act accordingly. Doing this in the form of a ritual turns the action into a sacred and healing act.

Wisdom of menopause
Self-healing, change and new beginnings in the second half of life

In “Wisdom of Menopause,” Christiane Northrup thoroughly dispels the common idea that the term “menopause” simply hides a collection of physical problems that are caused – ideally with hormones! – need to be treated.

Rather, menopause is a physical and mental upheaval that offers women a real opportunity for growth - if they manage to listen to their inner voice. Christiane Northrup uncovers the connection between menopause and a woman's emotional life and describes, among other things, in "Wisdom of Menopause", how menopause leads to a shift in female priorities, how women can recognize climacteric symptoms as wake-up calls from their body, how How hormonal changes affect sexuality, how women can deal with changes in their appearance or how they can protect themselves from heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer.

Christiane Northrup encourages women to understand their body's messages, to see menopause as a time of positive energy and to use the wonderful power of this phase of life for their personal development. In the new edition of the bestseller “Wisdom of Menopause”, Christiane Northrup has compiled the latest studies and case studies and reports on her wealth of experience from her practice.

THE standard work of natural gynecology.

The at publishing house writes:

Herbal remedies have been increasingly taking over gynecologists' and midwives' practices in recent years. Antibiotic herbs such as bearberry, nasturtium and garlic or plants with hormone-like effects such as lady's mantle, chasteberry and silver cohosh were able to gain a permanent place in gynecology and obstetrics. But the plant kingdom offers countless other women's herbs whose healing powers can enrich and help a woman's entire life.

Based on her many years of research and healing experience, the author shows how traditional plant knowledge can be integrated into a holistic concept of contemporary gynecology. Regardless of whether you have cystitis, endometriosis, the desire to have children, myoma, osteoporosis, menstrual, pregnancy or menopausal symptoms - therapists and women of all ages will find what they are looking for here.

The lexicon contains 110 detailed portraits of women's herbs with information on ingredients, effects, signatures, applications and references to commercial products. There are also over 180 medicinal herbal recipes and numerous valuable practical tips and therapy suggestions. With comprehensive medical glossary. An essential reference for anyone interested in women's health.

It's good to learn more about fertility and creativity - in many ways!
