Notfall-Apotheke in und aus der Natur

Whether you're a hiker, nature photographer, dog handler, on a family outing with children, or alone – there are tips here for everyone to help themselves in and out of nature with the simplest means, such as for blunt injuries like sprains or open wounds. Additionally, there are acupressure instructions and even emergency tips for dogs. This practical guide presents the plants in detail and illustrates them with drawings and close-up photos, making it easy to identify and safely use them even in emergencies. Furthermore, there are sensible suggestions on what to assemble at home as an emergency kit that you should always carry in a playing card size. This book becomes indispensable for shorter or longer hikes, as it provides assistance when neither a car nor a pharmacy is within reach, there is no mobile reception, the battery is dead, and the terrain is unfamiliar. It includes what to do when you're hungry and thirsty, if you get injured and possibly bleed, how to distract children playfully without a Gameboy to ease the situation, and how to care for a dog that has injured its paw in unfamiliar terrain. Nature provides free answers to all these questions – which are summarized in this practical little book in a handy format. With clear photos and distinct drawings, even beginners can navigate the outdoor natural pharmacy and perform emergency acupressure techniques.
