Workshop in Wien: Gesund durch die kalte Jahreszeit

Warming plant power for frosty winter days - we collect herbs in the garden and then make our little medicine cabinet together.

Right now In the wet and cold autumn/winter period, it is important to have the right helpful herbs on hand in order to ward off or at least alleviate illnesses.

Simple home remedies from the herbal pharmacy have a versatile effect: they strengthen our immune system and can be used for various ailments. Sage and thyme have an anti-inflammatory effect and ribwort plantain helps with colds and coughs. A tea made from elderflowers boosts our immune system and St. John's wort helps against the winter blues. The little-known meadowsweet is the antibiotic from the meadow: it has a fever-reducing and pain-relieving effect.

During a herbal tour in the garden, we learn a lot of interesting facts about the medicinal plants and harvest them.

Afterwards, we make our little medicine cabinet together, which will get us through the autumn and winter:

• Warm things Rosemary oil
• Cold balm
• Lavender ointment
• Ribwort plantain cough syrup
• Herbal tincture to strengthen the immune system
• Meadowsweet tincture for headaches and fever
• St. John's wort tincture for the winter blues
