Alpine Herbs – Treasures of Nature
Sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch: Our five senses provide us with countless impressions of our environment. Some of it we perceive consciously, but much of it reaches us on an unconscious level.
Arnica
This yellow flowering mountain plant enjoys great popularity not only in the Jungfrau Region
As a tincture or ointment it is used exclusively externally. It helps against venous disorders, bruises and rheumatic complaints.
Marigold – the Arnica of the Garden
Marigold is traditionally considered as a cure-all for small injuries and wounds
In most medicine chests you will find marigold as a cream or a paint. But it is also used in the herbal cuisine. Its orange yellow blossoms enhances soups and salads.
Wild Garlic
Wild garlic is an old important medicinal herb
Wild garlic contains a lot of vitamin C, iron and essentiel oils. It has a detoxifying and cleansing effect and can help us get over spring fatigue. It also supports us in many diseases. In the herbal cuisine no limits are set for wild garlic. Whether in salads or as a paste for seasoning, soups, ravioli filling, etc.
Stinging Nettle
It is a delicious and tasty medicinal herb that is so valuable that you should definitely use it. The shoot tips of the stinging nettle can be cooked. However, despite its stinging hairs, the nettle is also edible raw. For this purpose, the growing tips are rolled with a rolling pin and “defused”.
