The heal­ing power of the plant world is Dr. Mari­an­ne Ruoff’s pas­si­on. As a spe­cia­list in gene­ral inter­nal medi­ci­ne, a spe­cia­list in tra­di­tio­nal Chi­ne­se and Euro­pean her­bal medi­ci­ne and a wil­der­ness edu­ca­tor, she enjoys sha­ring her expe­ri­en­ces and fin­dings. In doing so, she com­bi­nes the heal­ing know­ledge of sci­ence with the anci­ent wealth of expe­ri­ence of the various folk heal­ing tra­di­ti­ons of Euro­pe and Chi­na. She has been working in her own prac­ti­ce in Bern, Switz­er­land, for over 20 years. She enjoys lea­ding her­bal walks and holds Lec­tures and semi­nars on the sub­ject of medi­cinal plants. Her pre­vious books on the medi­cinal plants dan­de­l­ion and hor­se­tail have both been award­ed the Ger­man Gar­den Book Pri­ze. Ano­ther book, “Eis­zeit­me­di­zin” (Ice Age Medi­ci­ne), on medi­cinal wild plants on the edge of the ice, will be published in May.
