From the authors' explorations emerged a reference work and workbook for working with medicinal plants, ranging from the well-known daisy and yarrow to the almost ubiquitous ground elder found in many gardens, as well as forgotten wild plants. At the same time, "Herbs from the Region" serves as an ideal companion for walks and hikes through the areas. With heart and hand, Christina Benz and Oliver Huber convey their love for nature and guide the reader in creating their own personal annual home pharmacy for body and soul. Oliver Huber uniquely and exceptionally leads through the art of refining herbs into tinctures, ointments, mustards, or vinegars. Christina Benz describes and decodes traditional plant customs in her personal interpretation, guiding the reader's spirit.
