Book preview

Foreword

Imagine a summer's morning in the picturesque Alleghany Mountains of Western Pennsylvania, where the day is kissed by the gentle warmth of the sun. Nature is alive, and the world awakens to a symphony of tranquility. A silver lake reflects the azure sky, and a delicate mist dances above it. Dew-kissed meadow grass and the lush foliage glisten in the soft morning light.

In this serene setting, a scene unfolds. A kindly, white-haired man, deeply connected to the land, makes his way through the abundant undergrowth. His attire is practical—a white linen shirt open at the neck, khaki pants, and boots dampened by the dew. His presence exudes harmony with the natural world that envelops him.

A young boy, brimming with curiosity, follows closely in his footsteps. They pause by a cluster of blossoming shrubs, and the man bends down, as if introducing an old friend to the boy.

Look here, he says, his voice filled with warmth and wisdom, this fragrant plant is American Angelica. A tea made from it will quickly restore your appetite if you've lost it.

The boy, captivated by the man's knowledge and the plant's potential as a remedy, listens intently. He soaks up every word, realizing that this wisdom is a gift—a legacy from one generation to the next.

That man was Arno Krause—a man of many facets: an artist, an adventurer, an outdoorsman, and a world traveler. To me, he was simply Grandfather. Born and raised in the enchanting Black Forest region of Germany, he embarked on grand adventures in his youth, journeying through the Orient, Africa, and South America. Eventually, he found his way to America, settling in the verdant embrace of the Western Pennsylvania mountains.

That morning stroll in the woods with my Grandfather unfolded nearly seventy plus years ago. It marked the beginning of a lifelong fascination with herbs. Subsequent morning excursions deepened that connection and expanded my knowledge.

Now, more than seven decades later, at the gentle urging of my youngest daughter, I found myself reflecting on those cherished memories. Dad, she said a few years ago, you need to write down all this wisdom you carry with you, so we can cherish it when you're no longer here. Our conversation arose after I brewed her a cup of peppermint and parsley tea to soothe her upset stomach. It was that moment—the recognition that this knowledge should not be lost—that inspired me to share it with others.

As you embark on the pages of this eBook, you'll journey through the world of herbs and spices, discovering their remarkable potential for enhancing your well-being. The wisdom passed down from my Grandfather, Arno Krause, lives on through these words. I hope you find this knowledge not only helpful but also deeply fascinating. May it enrich your life, just as it has enriched mine, and connect you with the beauty and healing power of the natural world.

Warm regards,

Richard Douglas Krause]
