Beneficial for body and soul

The healing powers of nature

What thrives in Styria has special powers: In the north, it is vitalising herbs from lush meadows, as well as salt and Swiss stone pine, that invigorate the body and soul. In the south, apple, elderberry, pumpkin and grapes refresh and rejuvenate your skin.

People have made use of the healing powers of these plants for thousands of years, and now their effects have also been scientifically confirmed. Traditional Styrian Medicine (TSM) at Heiltherme Bad Waltersdorf combines traditional knowledge about nature with modern medical findings. However, this is not the only place in Styria that values and takes advantage of the healing powers of nature. Throughout the green heart of Austria, people know which herbs serve which purpose.

When experiences in nature meet our "Grünkraft companions", the healing power of Grünkraft Styria unfolds.
