Arzneipflanzen-Workshop in Wien: Pflanzliche Wirkstoffe aus der Natur

Health and well-being from nature: we collect medicinal plants and use them to put together our natural medicine cabinet.

They have been collecting for centuries Medicine men and herbalists offer flowers, herbs and barks in the summer months. They knew about the right choice of herbs, their preparation and dosage. Today this valuable knowledge is returning to our consciousness. Nature gives us a variety of medicinal plants that, as natural medicine, strengthen our health and well-being.

Herbal active ingredients from nature

The sun now has the greatest power and everything smells and blooms. The ingredients contained in the herbs, such as essential oils, bitter substances and tannins, have a comprehensive effect on our body. They relieve pain, heal wounds, treat colds and help us when we can't rest. Prepared and used correctly, they help us to get minor and major complaints under control.

Many medicinal herbs not only feel at home in the forest and on the meadow. They can also be planted in your own garden and become the basis for your own medicine cabinet.

Sage, for example, should not be missing in any garden. It has an anti-inflammatory, expectorant effect and much more. The nasturtium has a bacteria-inhibiting and immune system-stimulating effect and enriches every salad with its pretty flowers. The calming effect of lemon balm is well known in conventional medicine. It internally relaxes the stomach nervous system, but does not make you tired.

I invite you to my garden, where many rare medicinal plants are waiting to be discovered by you.

We experience their scent, listen to their myths and explore their various possible uses.

After collecting, many recipes are immediately put into practice and an individual medicine cabinet produced:

• Ribwort plantain cough syrup
• Odermennig tincture - to strengthen the gums
• Calendula gel - has a decongestant and calming effect
• Circulation Fit Oxymel for low blood pressure and circulatory problems
• Lip balm for dry lips and herpes

I look forward to diving into this together Natural pharmacy!
