About the Author:
The herbalist from Saaz in the former Sudetenland (born 1907) showed an interest in nature from a young age and was supported by her mother, a follower of Kneipp. Through her interactions with the rural population, reading old herbal books, and eventually meeting the biologist Richard Willfort in the 1960s, her knowledge of healing herbs reached a level of quality that garnered significant attention. In 1971, she gave her first lecture on healing herbs to spa guests in Bad Mühllacken. Pastor Rauscher encouraged her to create a manuscript, leading to the release of the first folder titled "Health from the Pharmacy of God" in 1976. This laid the foundation for her fame. Maria Treben passed away on July 26, 1991.
