Fresh lavender, blooming roses, your favorite perfume – scents stimulate the senses, awaken memories, and soothe the soul. And they can do so much more. Whether it's stress and aggression, headaches or blemished skin: many aches and pains can simply be "scented away" with aromatherapy. This book will whisk you away to the world of essential oils, which can gently and effectively relieve physical and mental ailments.

- The 16 Top Essential Oils: Learn how to treat over 40 ailments with the most important oils – from osteoarthritis to toothache.
- 130 recipes for your medicine cabinet: Making these fragrant helpers yourself is child's play.
- Firsthand: Eliane Zimmermann, the experienced and renowned aromatherapist, shows you how to help yourself and your family.

Eliane Zimmermann herself about this book:

It was designed for absolute beginners in aromatherapy. No prior knowledge is expected, nor will the reader be bombarded with extensive background information. Instead, I will present tried-and-tested, helpful recipes from my nearly 25 years of experience, based on everyday mental and physical ailments.

Light and darkness maintain a balance. The goddess Ostara moves across the land with the warming power of the sun, touching new life.

Cowslips, coltsfoot blossoms, and wild herbs reflect the light of the spring sun, which are now being harvested. Medicinal herbs support us with their green power to cleanse body, mind, and soul.

Awakening, departure, and new beginnings are palpable in nature. The following plants are included: larch, primrose, and violet, among others.

Allgäu medicinal herb candles are handcrafted in a small factory, made from 100% vegetable stearin and a blend of plant extracts, medicinal herb essences, essential oils, and more tailored to the respective life theme. Their effect is similar to a fine incense burn: Transformed by the fire, the information and vibration of the extracts are released, supporting spiritual and mental intentions.

Allgäu medicinal herb candles are not scented candles in the traditional sense; they burn for up to 40 hours and are drip-free as long as they are not exposed to drafts.

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.
