Heilkraft aus dem Bienenstock

When fascination with honey bees meets enthusiasm for natural healing and handmade products, salves, tinctures, or poultices made from bee products for health and well-being are created. Master beekeeper Norbert Poeplau provides exciting insights into the lifestyle of bee colonies in this book and explains how high-quality ingredients for the home pharmacy are produced through species-appropriate beekeeping while considering animal welfare aspects. Almut Tobis describes the beneficial properties of honey, beeswax, and propolis from a medical perspective and shares her tested recipes for effective remedies. Even the preparation of thyme-wax poultices, cough honey, propolis lotions, or wind-and-weather balm strengthens body, mind, and soul. Complaints are alleviated with their help, and the immune system is strengthened. The book encourages a respectful approach to bee products—whether or not one has their own beekeeping—and vividly describes the applications of self-made natural remedies from the realm of honey bees. With a foreword by Sarah Wiener.
