Botanical extracts
from ancient traditions to modern therapeuticals

The healing properties of the natural substances became apparent since ancient times, leading to the first remedies for wounds and illnesses. Happily, for the humankind, nature remains the basic supplier of archetypic substances that are biologically active and pharmacologically beneficial.

Current medicine has accomplished impressive achievements and faces new challenges. Although, an increasing number of therapeutic approaches becomes available, their efficacy varies, as well as their side effects.

Our company is actively involved in reevaluating bioactive compounds of natural origin for the prevention and management of health problems, and for metabolic necessities in the pursuit of the well being. We approach the problems, and seek solutions on the ground of ancient references though employing modern scientific methodology. Our team is searching for the best possible ways to intervene in particular metabolic levels with the aid of botanical extracts based on the international scientific literature.. For this reason we choose plants from the unique abundance of the Greek flora which are also referred in the Mediterranean medical traditions.

Throughout the years, we develop innovative methodologies, applying environmentally friendly protocols, but most important, compatible with the plants we use and the applications we are focusing on. As a result, we are making botanical extracts of outstanding quality, and a number of products that:

  • Deal with prevention and relief from irritations of (a) the skin, (b) the soft tissues, and (c) the oral cavity.
  • Have antiseptic action.
  • Have potent activity against aging-related problems.
  • Promote well being.
  • Improve food quality and safety.

In parallel, it is our aim to develop new business collaborations with companies from the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or food industries. A list of botanical extracts and products that our team has developed and manufactured is available to interested parties.

Botanicals have been in use for a long time, nevertheless, their intimate mechanisms of action are now gradually elucidated. The choice of plants along with the appropriate preparation of the extracts and the subsequent application is the subject our team has been working on.
