The Pharmacy on the Windowsill
They give delicious dishes the final touch: kitchen herbs. But they offer so much more than just good flavor; they are packed with healing substances that you can wonderfully use as tea, cream, oil, or homemade solutions with remarkable effectiveness.
With just ten of the most popular herbs, you can create a small but highly effective home pharmacy on your windowsill that can also be utilized in the kitchen. In this book, Dr. Franziska Rubin not only discusses the flavors in the kitchen but also the medicinal effects of the most well-known herbs. When infused with hot water, they yield healing teas, disinfecting gargles, or pain-relieving bath and compress additives. A compress with nasturtium helps with muscle pain, while lemon balm aids in abdominal discomfort. Gargling with sage effectively combats throat inflammation. Teas or baths with rosemary invigorate the body, while lavender has a calming effect. They can be easily made, preserved, and stored.
Dr. Franziska Rubin, known from countless TV appearances, is a passionate physician. She is one of the most prominent advocates of well-established natural medicine. Her books on holistic medicine regularly top the self-help bestseller lists.
