This book will whisk you away to the world of essential oils, which can gently and effectively relieve physical and mental ailments.

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.
Marlene Warelopoulos, the “mother” of the herbal pharmacist’s kitchen, has “cooked” for both customers and us herbalists for many years and, together with Anda Dinhopl, has held countless cooking courses.
Her – fortunately “imitable” – art of seasoning and preparing wholesome, vegetarian dishes is captured in this book.
The recipes are easy to explain and follow, and they taste delicious: soups, sauces, casseroles, cakes, and the herbal pharmacy classics like our vegetable cake and oat biscuits.
There is also a short, clear explanation of the nutritional principles of Ayurveda.
The book is also suitable for those who are not interested in Ayurveda but appreciate good vegetarian cuisine.
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.
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!
The classic on natural pregnancy and birth
Since the midwife's consultation hour was first published in 1994 (it was last completely revised and expanded in 2018), it has been on the bookshelf of the herbal drugstore.

• Current scientific findings
• Hormones and their influence on the body and psyche
• Tips for a healthy diet

• Naturopathic support with aromatherapy, homeopathy, Bach flowers and herbal medicine
The most important book for herbalists on natural pregnancy and birth.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Published by Insel Verlag.
Regena Thomashauer's book is somewhat "American," a bit over the top, but refreshing and bubbly. After all the profound, serious, and critical books we've read—and will continue to read with interest— PUSSY is a refreshingly enjoyable read that Anda Dinhopl recommends to everyone!
It accompanies us on a wonderful journey to ourselves, to our wishes, our desires, our longings.
It motivates us to live bolder, crazier, happier, and more sensually, because female pleasure holds infinite energy potential!
And instead of wasting our energy on worries, let’s tell ourselves more often: JUST DO IT!
One of the best and most beautiful books on the subject of smoking!
Experiencing the seasons mindfully and consciously connects you with the power of natural rhythms.
Burning incense at the winter solstice, at the beginning of spring on Candlemas, or on St. John's Day gives us energy and leads us to our center – we free ourselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Numerous tips for creating your own rituals can help. Whether in nature, in your own garden or house, in a small apartment, or in a student shared flat in the middle of a big city:
Incense rituals are possible anywhere. With detailed profiles of 60 effective herbs, woods, and resins, illustrated with photos and drawings for easy identification.
A BOOK FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, which is not only about smoking and the Raunächte, but about much more: about the energetic relationship between people and space (home, workplace).
Sigrid Csurda-Steinwender is an interior designer and geomancer. She has long been concerned with the topic of "better living, better working, better life" and raises awareness of how closely people and spaces are connected. In this book, she offers helpful suggestions for getting rid of stressful vibrations within your own four walls.
It supports you in decluttering and redesigning your own environment, in furnishing, and in dealing with people and with yourself.
Here are some quotes:
The energy fields underlying the space create its unique atmosphere, with which every person resonates.
The memory of our space remembers everything that happens in a space over time.
Spaces shouldn't be constraining or limiting, but rather should be used and understood as support for unfolding our full potential. Therefore, it's advisable to cleanse and clear the energy field of your home from time to time.
A key to creating a strengthening living space lies in pausing occasionally in the rapid flow of time—consciously observing and perceiving what is—and then acting accordingly. Doing this in the form of a ritual transforms the action into a sacred and healing act.
A wonderful handbook and reference book with many recipes and practical uses of medicinal plants.
Many medicinal plants have become established in gynecologists' and midwives' practices over the past few decades. Antibiotic herbs such as chamomile and nasturtium, or hormone-like plants such as chasteberry and black cohosh, have established a firm place in gynecology and obstetrics. But the plant kingdom offers many other medicinal herbs that have soothing and healing effects on numerous women's ailments.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to medicinal plant science for women. It explains the interesting hormone-like effects of medicinal plants, profiles 120 women's herbs, and offers over 200 proven recipes and numerous practical tips. It combines more than 25 years of practical experience in gynecology with the findings of contemporary plant research. It is a valuable handbook for therapists and an indispensable practical reference for women of all ages who are affected by these conditions and are interested in naturopathy.
