Dr. Eva-Maria Wagner – medicinal plant specialist and aroma consultant

Welcome to the next episode of “Strong Through Cold Season”. In this video, I introduce helpful medicinal plants for cold season—from traditional “natural antibiotics” to soothing herbs for the throat and airways. You’ll learn which plants are commonly used for sore throat, cough, mucus, fever, headaches and body aches, and what to watch out for (e.g., pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune conditions).
Topics covered: phyto-antibiotics (garlic, nasturtium, horseradish), immune-support plants (echinacea/coneflower, Cape pelargonium/Umckaloabo), diaphoretic herbs (linden, elder, ginger), salicylate plants (meadowsweet, willow), mucilage herbs (marshmallow root, ribwort plantain, Iceland moss), essential-oil plants (thyme, fennel, sage), bitters & recovery (hawthorn, rosemary, ginger), tannins (sage, rockrose/cistus, plantain), vitamin C sources (sea buckthorn, rosehip, kiwi, lemon) and saponins (ivy preparations, daisy, cowslip—protected!).
