8 WERKER stand in the forest…🌳

03. May 2024

As part of our health weeks, we went on a herb hike last Friday at Iller . Graduate biologist Sybille R. Braun imparted tried and tested knowledge about the use and effects of our local wild herbs and medicinal plants. 🌿

From natural remedies for colds such as meadowsweet, goutweed or lungwort to the power plant nettle, which contains pretty much all the essential amino acids, we strolled through the woods and meadows with open eyes and ears and picked up numerous tips for our own medicine cabinet.

3 WERKER tips from the forest pharmacy:
The groundsel 🌿
As a tea, it has an anti-inflammatory, expectorant and wound-healing effect. An insider tip for colds or chronic bronchitis, and not just in the cold season.

The lime tree 🌳
Its leaves as a tea strengthen the cells and help with flu or other viral infections.

The (burdock) bedstraw 🌿
As a tea, it can be used to cleanse the lymph, kidneys or urinary tract and helps to detoxify the body.

We are not yet Botany Professionals, but we can now confirm Paracelsus’ and Kneipp’s statement that “there is a herb for every disease”.

Sybille not only teaches at various schools and the VHS, but also offers these guided herb walks individually for groups.
