Hanna Kroeger is recognized worldwide as having been an expert in herbs and natural healing. This spry and cheerful woman, who lived well into her eighties, remained remarkably active - inspecting herbal blends, working on books, and corresponding with other herbalists and alternative therapists.
Hanna Kroeger (ne Zimmer) was born in 1915, the daughter of German-Christian missionaries who traveled and worked throughout Europe. With few medical resources, they dedicated their lives to taking care of orphans and the infirmed. Hanna continued her nursing education at the University of Freiburg and began work as an intern for the noted Doctor Brauchle of Dresden. She learned the restorative powers of herbs that had been buried by modern medicine which served her during the war when medicines became rare. There is no doubt that Hanna, as mother and nurse, embodied resourcefulness.
In the early '50's, Hanna moved her family to the States and settled in Boulder, Colorado. These were the early days of the herbal renaissance, and she felt like this was an energetic place to start one of the first health-food stores in 1957. From her small shop Hanna showed a deep knowledge of the subtle and unique properties of European and American herbs.
In 1962 Hanna Kroeger opened a European style spa/retreat which evolved as Hanna and her husband Rudolf built a house, implemented body work clinics, and enhanced some natural attributes such as the lake and garden. Here, visitors could relax and recuperate, eat exceptionally healthy food, and receive massage and spa treatments.
In 1978 Hanna Kroeger and her husband Rudolf founded the Kroeger Herb Products Company. It was in May of 1998 that Hanna passed away, just over a year after her husband. Despite legal actions brought against her over the years for her pioneering views Hanna Kroeger managed to publish more than 22 books, heal and nourish countless people, educate thousands, and create unique formulas that will preserve the traditional healing for generations. hanna Kroeger books include "The Basic Causes of Modern Disease" and "Heal Your Life With Home Remedies".
