The Handbook for Women
A very personally written book by Anda Dinhopl, the former head of the herbal drugstore . It takes you through the stages of the female life cycle: from menarche through the period of fertility and transition to old age. Practical tea and aroma recipes and tips that are easy to implement will accompany you through your everyday life and help to relieve minor ailments. Women's herbs such as yarrow, lady's mantle, raspberry leaves, important essential oils such as clary sage, fennel, sage and rose are described in detail and because good cuisine is the basis for well-being, there is also a "small spice pharmacy".
FRAUENKRÄUTER is a bestseller and long-seller in the herbal drugstore that is read, hidden, given away - and praised again and again.
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.
More information is available on our website under book recommendations . It's best to read for yourself and be inspired. You're welcome to browse in our herbal pharmacy.

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!
Wisdom of Menopause
Self-healing, change and new beginnings in the second half of life
In “The Wisdom of Menopause,” Christiane Northrup thoroughly dispels the common notion that the term “menopause” simply refers to a collection of physical problems that need to be treated—preferably with hormones!
Rather, menopause is a physical and mental upheaval that offers women a real opportunity for growth—if they succeed in listening to their inner voice. Christiane Northrup uncovers the connection between menopause and a woman's emotional life and describes, among other things, in "The Wisdom of Menopause," how menopause leads to a shift in female priorities, how women can recognize menopausal symptoms as wake-up calls from their bodies, how hormonal changes affect sexuality, how women cope with changes in their appearance, and how they can protect themselves from heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer.
Christiane Northrup encourages women to understand their bodies' messages, to view menopause as a time of positive energy, and to harness the wonderful power of this phase of life for their personal development. In the new edition of the bestseller "The Wisdom of Menopause," Christiane Northrup has compiled the latest studies and case studies and shares her wealth of experience from her own practice.
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 their body is an ally, always showing them the right path. American gynecologist 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 life circumstances and history are linked to her gynecological disorders. Therefore, she encourages women to discover what has caused them to be ill and shows them paths to healing.
Dr. Northrup has now completely revised and updated her bestseller. Using case studies and the latest research, she shows how women can grasp the wisdom inherent in every bodily process—from menstruation to PMS to menopause. She openly and clearly describes how women can learn to understand these processes as part of their inner voice, how they can activate their innate capacity for healing and self-healing, and how they can live it day by day.
Goddesses don't age
How we take away the power of time by choosing the fullness of life
Growing older doesn't have to mean a loss of health, beauty, or a slide into cultural insignificance. No one could assert this more forcefully, convincingly, and passionately than world-renowned gynecologist and bestselling author Christiane Northrup.
She encourages women to trust their own intuitive (body) knowing and introduces them to the secret of agelessness. Her goal is nothing less than emancipation from all social prejudices about aging, from the expectations of "others," and even from the whisperings of doctors. She calls on women to finally do everything that transforms women into ageless goddesses: strengthening their self-healing powers, eating optimally, making their leisure time fulfilling, and opening themselves to the spiritual dimension – in order to live a life of maximum sensuality, vitality, and joy.

Those affected by atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, or acne often suffer twice over—from unpleasant symptoms as well as from looking in the mirror. But there is a way back to beautiful and healthy skin: the skin diet.
Medical student Felix Dahlmanns was himself affected by psoriasis. He has developed a highly effective strategy for naturally curing a wide variety of skin problems from within, without cortisone creams or other skin care products. The core of his method is an alkaline-forming diet and the intake of targeted nutrients through algae shakes and superfoods. Even skin diseases classified as "incurable" by conventional medicine can be permanently defeated with this method. Includes numerous testimonials and recipes.
Our opinion and description can be found here on our website.
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.
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.
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.
