Artemisia Wonder's

Dear Friends,
for many Years we had an incredible Tick Plague in Germany, Borreliosis or Lyme's Disease slowly becomes a plague. In monastic Herbalism we always try to find the simplest Cure first, before we use more complicated protocols. Many of the old World Plants have incredible healing Virtues, however we desided on more exotic Plants. Artemisia Annua or Sweet Annie showed most Promises and I worked out a Combination with Baptisia and a second remedy with Echinacea and Garlic. With both Combinations we could experience a very high success rate in simple Cases. The more Chronic Cases
many times needing some support through adaptogenic Herbs like Licorice and calming Herbs like Scullcap and Avena . All of our current cases are on recovery in a rather fast mode. We use a Hybrid Artemisia called Anamed which is extremely powerfull as unprocessed Herb in the Treatment of Malaria Tropica. We have for several Years cooperated with the sole charitable Contributor of this Plants, financing a national Artemisia Program in Cameroon. Go: Anamed

Go and look

Dear Viewers,
recently we had some professional Photographers visiting our Convent, so I invite you to have a look at some Impressions :

Monastic Healing Practice

For more than 1500 Years, herbal Medicine has been documented and preserved in christian Convents and Monasteries around the World. However besides large Volumes of Herbal Wisdom preserved in Books and some well kept herbal Gardens for Visitors in ancient Convent Buildings, you barely find active Herbalists in fulltime Practice in 21 Century monasticism. Currently myself is the only prominent Herbalist alive in western Europe who is fully proffessed Monk and the only Teacher of monastic Herbalism in an active Convent, currently known . Not that this Position makes me proud, but rather makes me sad. It is not easy to accept, that a thousand Year old Craft should simply die out. This is one of the Reasons , I try to keep my work puplic, writing some of my experience and thoughts to those reading this humble Blog. Not being a native speaker of the English Language , I ask for Patience for my many Mistakes in Grammar and Expression of the English Language. Thankyou
