love this austrian woman who started sharing herbal remedies in the 1980s mainstream by making them look as chaste as possible lol (i still think she was a witch).
i used to work at an apothecary, and we referenced this book often to help customers. i’ve also found immense benefit from some of her suggestions for menstrual cramps, tummy troubles, headaches, allergies/respiratory issues, etc, plus i love the ritualistic element of preparing and taking these herbs. some of her recommendations are a bit ?? but otherwise i trust her, just use your discernment.
if you are interested in incorporating herbs into your life, i would start with stinging nettle, calendula, yarrow, and swedish bitters (be careful w this one bc it is literally 40% alc and u should only take like a tsp at a time).
was just reminded of this bc im trying to grow my hair out and needed to reference some of her suggestions for a tincture im making
i linked the book and here’s a picture of a recent edition <3
