Discover the art of herbal medicine: book presentation in dance

In the distance of the beautiful Alps, more precisely in Stanz near Landeck, the guests of the reading on October 4 discovered the fascinating details of the liquid herbal medicine. Michaela Thöni-Kohler, who is known as the "Zammer herbal witch", presented her latest work for the first time, which bears the promising title "Healing Schnapps from the Alps". The event took place in the enemy distillery Kössler, where the interest in regional healing methods and traditional recipes for schnapps was awakened.

With a price of just 29 euros, your book is financially favorable and is packed with valuable information on the art of herbal medicine, which has been practiced in the Alps for centuries. The readers learn everything important about the correct harvesting of herbs, digging roots and the production of different healing snaps and tinctures. Thöni-Kohler gives deeper insights into areas of application for which their schnapps are used-from supporting the immune system to improving digestion to delicious enjoyment experiences.

a lively dialogue

The book presentation was enriched by an exciting dialogue between Michaela Thöni-Kohler and the managing director of Tyrolia, Gottfried Kompatscher. "The current one is already the third book that Michaela Thöni-Kohler publishes on our publisher," said Kompatscher and asked the herbal expert the question of her career. Thöni-Kohler answered humorously and let the audience know that she spent a lot of time with her grandfather in her childhood, who was known for his "Schnapersl". They would have accompanied these memories throughout their lives and inspired their knowledge of herbs and their healing effects.

"I thought I was doing something so that the knowledge of herbs and healing snaps is not lost," she explained and immediately refuted the common opinion that herb snaps were only worth a taste. The active ingredients of the herbs are extracted by the alcohol, which opens a completely new dimension of the healing effect.

unique herbal snaps

In conversation, Thöni-Kohler also reported on her experiences abroad, where she came across French herbs that are rarely found in the Alps. They led their dedication and passion for the production of schnapps to try out many different recipes. "I am not a specialist for distillations, I put a lot on," she revealed with a wink. The manufacturing process usually lasts at least two weeks, but often up to four weeks, and often ends with a sweet liqueur if the original starting snaps have become bitter.

It is particularly enthusiastic about the master root, an alpine remedy that she used for many symptoms. "It helps practically against everything-from the bronchi to gastrointestinal problems," she explains with a proud smile.

In addition to the book presentation, visitors to the event were able to try a variety of homemade distillates and herbal snaps. Christoph Kössler, the host of the enemy distillery, presented his own specialties, including an extraordinary gin. With only five "botanicals" this stands out from other gins by containing elements such as mountain pine and chamomile, an interesting combination that made tasting an exciting experience.

The musical accompaniment of the evening came from the band "Bucca Bossa", which provided a pleasant atmosphere. The event was not only informative, but also offered space for sociable get -together and enjoyment - a real pleasure for all the senses.
