Synopsis:
It’s small, it’s white and it’s a star. The edelweiss is a powerful symbol. It means "noble white". Along with "gesundheit" and "doppelganger", it’s one of the few German words most people can pronounce. The "Sound of Music" is responsible for that, but to set the record straight, Rodgers and Hammerstein had never seen the flower before writing the song "Edelweiss". It is not an Austrian folk song! "The Edelweiss Enigma" is an investigation to find the fact behind the fiction. The deeper we dig, the stranger the story. To be given an edelweiss as a gift is to be given a talisman, a reminder of a special time, place or person. And that is exactly what it may be able to do when taken as a medicine. Laboratory tests have shown that edelweiss improves memory. Can the everlasting flower delivers what its name promises? That may be the edelweiss enigma.
