It is quite obvious that experiments made with some lowland plants, Belladonna for instance, are less conclusive as regards the influence of mountain climate and than those made with plants
that are actually native to higher elevations. The condition of the soil has to be considered too, because the bacterial flora of lowland soil has usually been damaged by artificial fertilisers and cannot offer the same favourable basis for growth as the naturally fertilised ground of mountain valleys, the humus of which is brought down to the valleys every spring by the avalanche snow from where the ecology has not been interfered with. This kind of soil is ideal for promoting exceptionally good growth of plants, their medicinal content being the best possible because the mountain valleys provide the perfect biological conditions for these plants. Additionally, the sheltered valleys offer another advantage in as far as the plants are less exposed to strong winds than on mountain heights. That is why they thrive in these alpine valleys, and are especially aromatic and effective as raw materials for fresh plant preparations.
