Natural well-being - Mountain herbs
Mountain herbs have been used to promote one’s health for hundreds of years.
Nature has provided us with many herbs which can be used as a cure for diseases or also as a preventive against day-to-day ailments. The curative value and the knowledge of the properties of the different herbs in the Dolomites has been handed down from one generation to the next.
Hundreds of years ago people used to pick the herbs in the forest and in the meadows. Nowadays this has changed. Some farmers have specialized in growing herbs. This has been followed by a production of natural mountain herb produts. Very often these herb farms are purely organic meaning that they don’t use any chemicals on their land.
The herbs, teas and lotions that are produced can be bought either directly from the farmer or in specialized shops.
