Publications by Dr Melanie H. Adamek: forest medicine, therapy, professional practice and law

Knowledge thrives when it is shared, discussed and advanced – through personal conversations, professional training, congresses, expert exchange and publications.

Publications | Specialist articles, interviews, books and more

How can forests and nature strengthen health? And how can their potential be translated into sound therapeutic approaches? These questions shape a major part of my work as an author. My publications include the non-fiction book IM-WALD-SEIN. Die natürliche Antwort auf Psychostress und Zivilisationskrankheiten. Entdeckung eines Präventionskonzepts, specialist articles, interviews and media contributions on forest medicine, forest therapy and nature-based health promotion. A further focus is on the legal aspects of professional communication, professional regulation and advertising law in Heilpraktiker practice. You can find more on forests and health in my blog.

Are you looking for an author or expert contributor for a specialist article, interview or editorial format? I would be pleased to contribute my expertise to these topics and look forward to hearing from you.

A beautifully crafted and cleverly written book on the trending topic of "forests and health." I was particularly interested in the health-promoting effects of terpenes, which are explained here in a scientifically sound (but easily understandable) manner. Overall, a very informative, factual book that makes you want to spend more time in the forest. It's also attractively and high-quality, making it a pleasure to pick up.
