Healing practices as ancient as humanity
The ice melts in Greenland, in the Alps, and around the world. Healing plants grow all along its edges that were used by hunter-gatherer communities since the last ice age. On research trips to Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia, and by exploring the healing practices of the domestic Alpine regions, the author gathers valuable, traditional healing knowledge. Combining ancient findings of Chinese herb medicine, modern research results, and valuable tips from her vast experience as specialist for general medicine, traditional Chinese herb medicine, and phytotherapy, Marianne Ruoff creates an unparalleled, impactful, and holistic masterpiece.
Detailed plant descriptions and photos facilitate identification. With more than 260 uses for healing, more than 130 recipes and outdoor practices, this book is more than just a comprehensive guide: it showcases the unspeakable value and dazzling beauty of the Arctic and Alpine flora.
