A few hours in the forest are often enough to return home feeling energized and refreshed. We know from our own experience that a walk or hike in the forest air is good for you - and not just since the positive effect of “forest bathing” has been scientifically proven. But in the forest there is not only isolation from the hustle and bustle and noise, there is much more to discover and this book entices you to perceive the liveliness of the forest with all your senses.
It is a stimulating mix of relaxed immersion in the forest, adventure inspiration and knowledge about the healing powers and uses of plants and trees.
Set off, breathe deeply, smell, feel, hear and taste... alone or with a pleasant company.
This book is also great for introducing children and young people to the forest in a sensitive way.
We have long appreciated Gerda Holzmann, the author of this book, for her book “Healthy Wild Herbs from My Garden”.
The Innsbruck-based Löwenzahnverlag not only focuses on ecology in terms of content, but also produces sustainably and does not use plastic films.
After the brother of an herbal druggist took part in a herbal hike led by Gerda Holzmann and was then able to feast on delicious wild herb dishes, he warmly recommended this book to us.
We think it's great too and would highly recommend it!
You can feel on every page how connected she is to nature and you quickly notice how well she knows herbs and how they can be used in the home medicine cabinet and in the kitchen.
Gerda Holzmann describes 30 wild herbs* and answers important questions:
How do you collect wild herbs correctly?
At what time of year do you harvest which herb?
Which plant parts do you process – leaves, flowers or fruits?
Which of these plants are suitable for your own garden, bed, balcony or even flower pot?
Do you propagate them via roots or seeds?
What benefits do these plants have for our health?
Easy-to-follow, simple recipes tempt you to make your own teas, tinctures, juices, ointments and delicious wild herb dishes.
* From field pansies, mugwort, comfrey, Gundermann and meadowsweet to horsetail.
The book is also a visual delight - like all books from the Innsbruck LöwenzahnVerlag, which not only focuses on ecology in terms of content, but also produces sustainably and does not use plastic films.

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.

Anyone affected by neurodermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea or acne often suffers twice as much - from unpleasant symptoms as well as when looking in the mirror. But there is a way back to beautiful and healthy skin: the skin diet.
The medical student Felix Dahlmanns was himself affected by psoriasis. He has developed a highly effective strategy that can cure a wide range of skin problems naturally from the inside out, without cortisone ointments or other skin care products. The core of his method is an alkaline-forming diet and the supply of targeted nutrients through algae shakes and superfoods. Even skin diseases classified as “incurable” by conventional medicine can be permanently defeated. With lots of experience reports and recipes.

Women's bodies - women's wisdom
How women can rediscover their original ability to heal themselves
When it comes to health and well-being, many women know that the body is an ally that always guides them in the right direction. American gynecology expert Christiane Northrup has long been convinced that there is a connection between mental suffering and physical illness. From decades of medical practice, she knows that a woman's living conditions and history are linked to her gynecological disorders. Therefore, she encourages women to find out what made them sick and shows them ways to heal.
Her bestseller is Dr. Northrup now completely revised and updated. Using case studies and the latest studies, she shows how women can understand the wisdom inherent in every process in the body - from menstruation to PMS to menopause. She describes openly and clearly how women learn to understand these processes as part of their inner voice, how they can activate their original ability to heal and self-heal and live day after day.
The loving, practical book Tummy Oil and Onion Socks has long been available in the herbal drugstore (now in its 2nd edition), and now we have put together a practical DIY starter package together with the author Claudia Schauflinger!
It also makes an ideal gift for families with children and those who are about to become one.
Claudia Schauflinger is a mother of two children and grew up with home remedies herself. She runs a blog with helpful tips and gives great workshops (also online). More information about Claudia's children's home remedies here.
Description:
Most home remedies use ingredients that are found in every household: onion, salt, vinegar, oil... But some applications require things that cannot be found in every kitchen cupboard.
We have now packed some of these herbs, oils, etc. into the DIY starter package! How to deal with this is described in detail and understandably in the accompanying book. This means you can prepare children's home remedies in a simple and child-friendly way - even together with slightly older children!
This is included in the starter package:
- Herbal mixture calming – for herbal sachets, tea or bath
- Herbal mixture for colds – for herbal sachets, tea or bath
- Belly herbal mixture - for your own stomach massage oil, so that flatulence and stomach rumbling can be gently relieved
- Marigold – to easily make your first extract oil yourself
