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.
