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.

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

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
