If you speak of herbs are used to associate them primarily to spring, but nature gives us his gifts in all seasons and things to discover about plants and on the benefits that we offer there are so many.
We can do thanks to Herbest, first in a series of events that lie ahead in early fall.

The autumnal herbs Festival is scheduled for Asiago on 29 and 30 November, will be followed by a Walk of flavors (7 October) and from the Walk of the colors (14 October) until you come to "Asiago Foliage"on 20 and 21 October.

Herbest is autumn cimbro, a name that reminds us that nature gives the best of wild herbs and old fruits before the winter cold. Wild herbs are healthy and healthy ingredients to be used in the kitchen, and nature gives us chance to do so at this time, contrary to what is commonly thought.

"TMong the most typical plants of autumn – says Massimiliano Garner of the Slow Food Plateau 8 municipalities, which organizes Herbest – there's the horseradish, but also various herbs that are used to collect in the spring have a rejection and can be eaten at different times of the year, with a taste that changes a little depending on the season. Now is the time when the plants are preparing for winter hoarding reserve substances, dandelion root, for example, is sweeter than the spring thanks to the inulin which is very rich. Not found in abundance as in late winter, but still with other herbs such as nettles, Campos and kumo you can prepare a mixture similar to spring"kraut.

The party organized by Slow Food Plateau under the patronage of the town of Asiago want to give everyone the opportunity to get to know and taste the local products thanks to the rich market, to walks, workshops and other initiatives designed for the occasion.

Journeying between the nature to discover herbs and fruits of autumn but also the benefits of the "forest bath"

Among the events of Herbest, a walk in the company of herbalists Antonio and Lisa Calhoun that on the afternoon of Saturday 29 September will accompany autumn grasses and discovery of so-called forgotten fruits.
The next day instead is emotional excursion proposal "Forest bath Digital Detox" Highland woods with Asiago Guide.

"It's a different way of approaching a large natural heritage – says Massimiliano Garner- to live the benefits by diving into it. The inspiration comes from "Shinrin yoku", name with which the Japanese use for this practice, described as "the best way to cultivate happiness and live longer".
Was some Qing Li to have an inspired idea a few decades ago, thanks to which we now know that the "Forest bath" help in a concrete and measurable to relieve stress, sleep better, boost the immune system, improve circulation and respiration. The modern way of life brings us more and more to their need to "unplug" and immerse ourselves in nature to rediscover ourselves, or if nothing else, find a moment of peace and relaxation.
To ensure maximum effectiveness will not be allowed to bring smartphone or other device, nor be accompanied by 15 years old young people, nor by our four-legged friends.
It will be a walk with awareness, during which we will listen and we will make our own a poem by Frank Outlaw who invites us to try to cure their thoughts because these are positive and proactive. A good tip for those wishing to practice well the "forest bath" but also a good rule of life.
