It has always been of the utmost importance to us to provide information on natural medicine and encourage a sense of self-empowerment and responsibility for our own health. Our commitment to organic farming and organic products has always been a core value for us.

There is a growing body of research which indicates that traditional uses of plant remedies and the known pharmacological activity of plant constituents often coincide. However, herbal medicine is distinct from medicine based on pharmaceutical drugs. Firstly, because of the complexity of plant materials it is far more balanced than medicine based on isolated active ingredients and is far less likely to cause side-effects. Secondly, because herbs are typically prescribed in combination, the different components of a formulae balance each other, and they undergo a mutual synergy which increases efficacy and enhances safety. Thirdly, herbal medicine seeks primarily to correct internal imbalances rather than to treat symptoms alone, and therapeutic intervention is designed to encourage this self-healing process.

Providing practitioners with critical scientific information and resources regarding "alternative" and "complementary" therapeutic claims. This includes writings on various "alternative" claims/therapies to be made available over the Internet.
