Wild Herb Walk Summer Herbs with Gerda Holzmann

Wild herbs often grow unnoticed at the edge of paths. We encounter these valuable treasures of nature every day without realizing the enrichment they can bring to our lives. Join me on an excursion into the untouched plant world of Waldviertel!

In summer, flowers unleash their full power. St. John's wort, meadowsweet, mugwort, mullein, and others are just a few of the summer herbs that can enhance your well-being. Discover valuable wild plants with me and learn about their processing and healing powers.
