| Plants have always formed the basis of naturopathy and over the past few years they have increasingly started to re-conquer the practices of gynaecologists and midwives. Antibiotic herbs such as bearberry, nasturtium and garlic or plants with hormone-like effects such as lady’s mantle, chaste tree and bugbane have attained a firm status in women’s naturopathy. The kingdom of plants however offers an even greater number of women’s and mothers’ herbs, with healing powers that can be helpful companions throughout a woman’s whole life. Focus lies mainly on the healing plants used and available in German-speaking regions. Based on many years of research and practical experience, the author shows us how traditional plant knowledge can be integrated into a holistic concept of modern healing practices for women. Whether it is cystitis, endometriosis, the wish to have children, myoma, osteoporosis, menstrual cramps, mycosis, pregnancy or menopause symptoms – this book offers answers for therapists as well as women of all age groups. The encyclopaedia contains around 120 portraits of herbs featuring their name, botanical characteristics, signature and astrology, active agents, healing qualities and usage in healing practices for women. Additionally, each plant is accompanied by one or more recipes, valuable practical hints and therapy suggestions. References to trade products help finding the corresponding ingredients.
