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!

Often, a few hours in the forest are enough to return home 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 effects of "forest bathing" were scientifically proven. But the forest offers more than just seclusion from the hustle and bustle; there's much more to discover, and this book entices you to experience the forest's vitality with all your senses.

It is a stimulating blend of relaxing immersion in the forest, adventure inspiration, and knowledge about the healing power and use of plants and trees.
Set out on your journey, breathe deeply, smell, feel, hear and taste… alone or in 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.

More book recommendations.

After the brother of a herbalist participated in a herbal hike led by Gerda Holzmann and was subsequently able to enjoy delicious wild herb dishes, he warmly recommended this book to us.
We think it's great too and would happily recommend it!

On every page, you can sense how connected she is to nature and quickly realize how well she knows about herbs and their uses in the medicine cabinet and the kitchen.

Gerda Holzmann describes 30 wild herbs* and answers important questions:
How do you collect wild herbs correctly?
In which season do you harvest which herb?
Which parts of the plant are processed – leaves, flowers or fruits?
Which of these plants are suitable for your own garden, flowerbed, balcony or even flowerpot?
Do you propagate it by root or by seed?
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, ground ivy and meadowsweet to horsetail.

The book is also a visual delight – like all books from the Innsbruck-based LöwenzahnVerlag, which not only focuses on ecology in its content, but also produces sustainably and avoids the use of plastic film.

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.

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.

Breathe
How the simplest thing in the world changes our lives

Every person born takes a breath in the first minute. From then on, the lungs normally function on their own. But chronic lung diseases, asthma, and sleep apnea have become widespread, and even those who aren't sick gasp, wheeze, snort, and puff. Author Jessica Braun, who is easily thrown off her breathing rhythm herself, sets out to relearn how to breathe. She accompanies a woman in labor as she pantes, visits a sleep lab, undergoes a breathing diagnosis, meditates with an Indian guru, dives with free divers, and watches a dominatrix squeeze the air out of her client. Her research leads her to researchers and actors, biathletes and yoga teachers. She shows how breathing connects body and soul. And that everyone can learn the art of breathing and change their life.

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.
