Everything you can imagine, nature has already created.
Albert Einstein
Nature makes people poetic.
Do you know why?
Because it is our home and makes us feel good, we are the children of nature and we cannot go against the very essence that has formed our entire existence.
In fact, when we move away from it, caught up in thousands of daily tasks, we suffer without being fully aware of it.
We have decided to find a remedy to this.
Do you know how?
To honour our “home” we have thought to offer a beautiful experience in the midst of nature to discover plants, flowers, roots and shrubs that grow wild.
You will learn to know and respect these plants: you will realize that every plant species, that you are used to ignore, to trample on or to tear, in reality, has powerful medicinal properties.
We assure you that after this experience you will see nature with different eyes, an absolutely genuine and natural “augmented reality”.
In fact, nature does not exist in vain!
ogether we will realize that every fruit of our land is a precious source for our well-being.
Unfortunately, over time we have lost the habit of relying on nature to cure diseases, abusing more and more synthetic products without realizing that very often the solution is out there among the roots.
Do you want to know another interesting thing?
Nature has its own calendar!
In fact, every season has its own essence:
- Spring
Violets and primroses, with their beneficial properties for cough;
- April-May
Dandelion flowers for a good purifying herbal tea;
- May-June
Distillation of rose water;
- June-July
St. John’s wort to obtain a flaming oil, after-sun, anti-age and also useful for treating wounds;
- Autumn
– Elderberry bark, with its healing properties;
– The fantastic Bach Flowers, known for their anti-stress and antidepressant properties;
- Winter
Rosehip berries, with amazing antioxidant and wound-healing properties.
Make sure you have a nice wicker basket and let’s get started!
During the walk you will learn that not all species are edible, so it is important to rely on experts who have a great deal of experience in recognizing and using leaves, bark petals, etc.
In fact, there are toxic plants, although rare, from which it is good to stay away!
You will also know the microclimates that allow the growth of one variety rather than another, such as in the north and south sides.
How long is this experience and how will you use the fruit of your harvest?
The walk takes about 2 hours.
On the way back, if the season is spring, you can have a picnic enriching your salad with vegetables from the fields.
Don’t complain if they are a little bitter … just think that they have powerful depurative properties and you will no longer bother about it !
Or if the season is winter you can prepare a nice herbal tea with the seasonal plants harvested!
But this is not the end!
Take a look at the treasure in your basket, what can you see?
Depending on what the basket contains, you will be able to prepare an oil, an ointment or a fluid cream with wax and oleolites, all absolutely natural and genuine, to remember your experience.
Here’s another beautiful quote to finish our presentation!
“Remember that the best doctor is nature: it heals two thirds of diseases and does not speak ill of colleagues”.
