Herbal remedies in Austria and Germany

🍀 WYLDE is a collection of episodes in English, where I - Lieve Galle, a Belgian herbalist and wild plant forager since 2002 - talk with fellow herbalists and foragers in Europe. 

Gabriele Resch is a mother of 5 now adult children, and a health trainer with a big passion for herbs and natural living. She learned from her mother, from courses and from books, and loves to pass on her knowledge to younger generations.
She taught me a thing or two in this conversation.

About how she uses herbs in vegan cooking, juices and smoothies, and the combinations she makes.
About the way she sees the role of plants and herbs in holistic and natural health care.
About the popularity of Reverand Kneipp, and historical women like Hildegarde von Bingen and Maria Treben.
About the use of herbs for poultices and baths, with easy tips to try this at home.
About the state of basic botanical knowledge in Austria and Germany and the growing interest with the younger generation.
About herbal education and practicing medical herbalism as a 'heilpraktiker' in Germany.
About where she finds or buys good quality herbs, and the one herb that everyone should have in their garden. (spoiler alert: there's a whole list)
About the different flora and biodiversity in the mountains.
About how she sees herbal medicine evolving in Europe.

And lots more.
