Now in spring, when nature is awakening and everything is growing and flourishing, we take a look at the herbs that can also be found around the Moar Gut: Lavender, sage, lady's mantle and nettle. They are not only faithful companions in everyday life, but also help with minor or major ailments. Whether it's children's concentration problems at school or recurring headaches.
Lavender: This fragrant shrub is not only known for its calming and relaxing properties, but also for its many health benefits. Lavender oil is often used to relieve headaches, promote restful sleep and soothe irritated skin. Some natural spa products also contain lavender to induce relaxation and calm during treatment.
Sage: Sage is a hardy plant that has a wealth of healing properties. Its leaves are prized for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. A tea made from sage leaves can bring relief from sore throats and inflammation of the gums. Sage is also often used to aid digestion and can help to clear the mind and improve concentration.
Lady's mantle: This delicate plant with its distinctive serrated leaves is often underestimated, but its health benefits are remarkable. Lady's mantle is traditionally used to relieve menstrual cramps as it has antispasmodic properties. Our sauna master Ignaz also counts on lady's mantle and always incorporates the beneficial plant into sauna infusions. This is because lady's mantle leaves help to support digestion and promote general well-being.
Stinging nettle: Despite its reputation as an annoying weed, stinging nettle is one of the most versatile and nutrient-rich plants. Its leaves are rich in iron, vitamins and minerals and are often used to boost the immune system and combat fatigue. Nettle tea is also known for its detoxifying properties and can help to cleanse the body of toxins. This is why nettle is included in many of our mountain herbal teas.
The herbs mentioned are just a few examples of the rich variety of medicinal plants that thrive in the majestic mountains. Their healing properties have been known for generations and continue to be valued and used to promote well-being and support health.
So on your next walk around Moar Gut, it's worth taking a closer look at these special plants and appreciating their beauty and healing powers. And who knows what else you might come across on your search for medicinal plants.
