The House Book of Healing Wild Plants is now in its second edition. This book contains everything on 344 pages: medicinal herbs for the home pharmacy, wild plants for the kitchen, and flowers for cosmetics. Foraging, preserving, and using wild plants – in tune with the rhythm of the phenological calendar.

In our forests, by streams, and sometimes right at the roadside, plants with unadulterated healing power grow: from the resinous tree buds in the awakening early spring, which provide us with a healing balm, to healing barks and aromatic medicinal herbs. Katrin and Frank Hecker have unearthed ancient knowledge. They describe, based on the ten seasons of the phenological calendar, the significance of herbs, flowers, berries, tree barks, or buds of ancient wild plants, what modern research says about their ingredients, how to recognize the plant, and how to forage, prepare, or preserve it. From nature's treasures, root powders, bud flour, balms, herbal waters, liqueurs, healing oils, teas, natural cosmetics, salads, or soups are created.
