\n Herb man Casimir<\/em>\n <\/h1>\n

\n Of the Magic of Tyrolean Herbs\n <\/p>\n

\n Meet Kasimir the herb gnome - the hero of our WIDI Kids Program 2021. A story about the wisdom of nature, in which a city boy learns on a Tyrolean farm what healing power lies in the herbs along the wayside.\n <\/p>\n \n <\/i> To the WIDI Children's Program\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

\n The Herb Imp Kasimir\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n

\n High up on a Tyrolean farm lives the herb man Kasimir with his wife Kathi. Kasimir is a quiet but mischievous man. His Kathi often says he is as old and unfathomable as the forest. And she is right. Kasimir has a gray beard. He prefers to wear his knickerbockers, a hat, his \u201ehumped basket,\u201c and a large hiking stick. He adorns his hat with his favorite herbs. He carries the \u201ehumped basket\u201c because he always finds herbs he can use \u2013 for ointments, tinctures, juices, tea, soaps, or simply to eat.\n <\/p>\n

\n One day, Kasimir received a letter. It stated that a certain Konrad from Frankfurt would be coming to him to learn from him. The Tyrolean herb man was a little surprised. He didn't know what he should teach a boy. He only knows about nature. Besides, he's not a teacher. And he doesn't like to talk much either.\n <\/p>\n

\n On a warm summer day, there was a knock at Kasimir and Kathi's door. A slender boy stood before the door, smiling. So this was Konrad from Frankfurt. He moved into a small room on the farm and then went for a tour of discovery around the house. This was quite a challenge for the city boy. The farm is located on a mountain, and you have to be careful where you step. Konrad looked and looked, but not at the path, but at the mountains. And in his haste to look, he didn't notice that he was already standing in the middle of a nettle field. He screamed and cried terribly: \u201eOuch, ouch, ouch!\u201c His legs itched all over, and then he broke out in a rash. Besides, he was all alone \u2013 without Mom and Dad. Oh no \u2013 and what if he also had to go to the hospital now. Poor Konrad! He had really gotten himself into a mess!\n <\/p>\n

\n Luckily, Kasimir heard the cries and found the poor boy. He quickly helped him out and said, \u201eCalm down, Konrad, calm down! Don't make such a fuss about the nettles.\u201c Then the Tyrolean herb gnome turned around and looked for something on the ground. That made Konrad even sadder. Because instead of comforting him, Kasimir turned around and stared at the ground. The herb gnome was looking for plantain. When he had picked it, he squeezed the juice from the plant and rubbed it on the sore spots. \u201eThis is a real Indian bandage and helps immediately,\u201c said Kasimir. Indeed. It wasn't long before the itching lessened. Even the rash began to disappear. Then Kasimir added, \u201eThe nettle only hurts if you touch it from above. If you push the leaves from the bottom up, they don't hurt. Remember that.\u201c Konrad stared at him with wide eyes. Then Kasimir continued, \u201eThe herbs work best when you speak a magic spell to them.\u201c Konrad perked up: \u201eWhat is it? I want to feel completely well again quickly!\u201c And then the Tyrolean herb gnome revealed it to him:\n <\/p>\n\n

\n
\ud83c\udf3f<\/div>\n

\n \u201eHeal, heal, little herb,
\n It will be better again soon.
\n Heal, heal with the power,
\n that you have within you.
\n Heal, heal little herbs,
\n Everything will be alright again with you.\u201c\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n The saying was truly calming, and Konrad soon felt no more pain. \u201eThat's enough for today,\u201c said the herb man. \u201eLet's go home. We don't want anything else to happen.\u201c Konrad was glad to be sitting in the kitchen, only needing to watch Kasimir sort herbs.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201eDinner will be ready soon,\u201c said Kasimir. Konrad was already very hungry. \u201eWhat is there?\u201c he wanted to know. \u201eA salad made of dandelion leaves with yarrow vinegar and daisies for decoration, because you eat with your eyes,\u201c Kasimir smiled. Well, bravo! The boy would have preferred a burger with fries. Kasimir explained that it was a healthy meal full of bitter substances, which would be particularly important for his body after such a painful day. \u201eBitter substances?! That doesn't sound good at all,\u201c complained Konrad. But it was no use. Konrad was brave and ate the salad. And believe it or not \u2013 he even liked it. But of course, he couldn't admit that.\n <\/p>\n

\n Konrad from Frankfurt stayed with Kasimir and Kathi on their Tyrolean farm for four weeks. In the end, he was tanned, had rosy cheeks, toned calves, and carried a backpack \u2013 because you never know what you might find along the way.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n
\n <\/i> Did you know?\n <\/div>\n

\n The ribwort plantain from Casimir's story is a true herbal wonder of the wayside: the juice from its leaves actually soothes the itching from nettles and insect bites \u2013 and that's precisely why it's also called the \u201ewanderer's bandage.\u201c In the \u00d6tztal, you can find it in almost every meadow.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
