Root Uses - Home Remedies from the Earth

The old home remedies made from roots used to be part of the knowledge of root gatherers and herbalists. In this workshop with Waldviertel bestselling author and wild herb trainer Eunike Grahofer, you will learn about their traditional applications and discover how versatile roots were once used.

You will gain insight into the wide range of traditional uses for roots – from appetite-suppressing roots to those used as natural sugar substitutes. Eunike will also introduce you to roots for "tired bones," plant companions for stomach or intestinal unrest, and roots that were valued for travel sickness. Everything is explained in a down-to-earth manner, with many examples from folklore.

In the practical part, you will prepare various applications yourself from selected roots. Step by step, you will create a small collection that you can take home with you afterwards.
