The personal diary for the time between the years

This lovingly and clearly designed book is a pleasure to pick up during the Raunächte (Twelve Nights). The authors sensitively encourage you to enter into a dialogue with yourself through images, stories, and rituals.

The introduction describes the following rituals:

13 wishes

12 candles

12 animal cards (they can be printed via a download from the publisher)

... and lists what you should prepare for the next 12 days.

Then the accompaniment through the twelve Raunächte begins:

Each section begins with a meditation image, contains a daily theme based on traditions and customs, a small daily ritual, and blank pages for writing down your own thoughts.

An ideal companion that wonderfully combines old traditions and new ideas. Motivating, clear instructions that you can actually practice daily and draw insights from. You can take many of them with you into your everyday life in the new year.

Tip from the herbalists: This book makes a wonderful gift for loved ones – ideally with 12 candles for the Rauhnacht light circle or with white sage and frankincense, so that you are already prepared for the smoking ritual on page 127.

One of the best and most beautiful books on the subject of smoking!

Experiencing the seasons mindfully and consciously connects you with the power of natural rhythms.

Burning incense at the winter solstice, at the beginning of spring on Candlemas, or on St. John's Day gives us energy and leads us to our center – we free ourselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Numerous tips for creating your own rituals can help. Whether in nature, in your own garden or house, in a small apartment, or in a student shared flat in the middle of a big city:

Incense rituals are possible anywhere. With detailed profiles of 60 effective herbs, woods, and resins, illustrated with photos and drawings for easy identification.

THE standard work of natural gynecology.

The at-Verlag writes:

Herbal remedies have been increasingly gaining popularity in gynecologists' and midwives' practices in recent years. Antibiotic herbs such as bearberry, nasturtium, and garlic, as well as hormone-like plants such as lady's mantle, chasteberry, and black cohosh, have established a firm place in gynecology and obstetrics. But the plant kingdom offers countless other women's herbs whose healing powers can enrich and support a woman's entire life.

Based on her many years of research and practical experience, the author demonstrates how traditional plant knowledge can be integrated into a holistic concept of contemporary gynecology. Whether it's cystitis, endometriosis, the desire to conceive, fibroids, osteoporosis, menstrual, pregnancy, or menopausal symptoms, therapists and women of all ages will find what they're looking for here.

The encyclopedia contains 110 detailed portraits of women's herbs, with information on ingredients, effects, signatures, uses, and references to commercial products. It also includes over 180 medicinal herbal recipes and numerous valuable practical tips and treatment suggestions. It also includes a comprehensive medical glossary. An indispensable reference work for anyone interested in women's health.

We highly recommend this book to all our customers!

It is one of our TOP THREE (with BREATH and GUT WITH CHARM)

Dr. Andreas Michalsen succeeds in conveying that a vegan diet is not an out-of-touch fad, but above all makes sense from a health perspective.

He writes from personal experience: because he eats this way himself and because he sees the success of this diet – and also of intermittent fasting – in his patients.

Local herbs and flowers for lust and love

In the summer of 2018, we received an email asking whether we would like to offer this book in the herbal pharmacy and be a contact point for participants in the aphrodisiac herbal hikes .

WE WANT!

Ursula Asamer is an energy ethicist, herbal educator, landscape guide, and more. On her herbal walks near Lake Attersee, she takes participants on a leisurely stroll, discussing sensual inspiration under the title "Liebesrausch" (Love's Rush), discovering the precious plants that enrich your love life, and culminating in erotic delicacies.

When reading 50 Shades , you immediately notice how connected she is to nature and how much knowledge and experience she possesses. With a good dose of humor and irony, she's able to convey this on paper!

The herbalists smiled and marveled as they read—often laughing heartily—and thereby expanded their knowledge of the aphrodisiac side of local herbs.

A clever, delightful book that introduces us to local herbs while simultaneously training our senses and mindfulness. Attractively designed, with many beautiful illustrations, practical information, and inspiring recipes.

Highly recommended: to read, try out and give as a gift!

For hundreds of years, traditional Chinese medicine has utilized the amazing healing powers of mushrooms. Science now confirms what naturopathy has long known: medicinal mushrooms strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, improve metabolism and energy levels, fight viruses and bacteria, and can even kill tumor cells. As adaptogens, they also increase stress resistance: the body builds resilience and draws on it in acute situations.

Philip Rebensburg, a biologist and mycologist, and Dr. Andreas Kappl, a general practitioner and naturopath, will show you how you can harness the healing power of mushrooms. From Chaga to Reishi to Shiitake, detailed profiles will teach you everything you need to know about the 22 most important medicinal mushrooms. Based on the current state of scientific knowledge, mycologist Philip Rebensburg describes their ingredients, uses, and therapeutic effects. You'll also learn about the illnesses and ailments for which medicinal mushrooms are used, how you can cultivate your own, and the current state of legislation. You, too, can benefit from the amazing effects of mushrooms – for lifelong health.
