About

Our History

In 1982, Malcolm started producing herbal supplements for his acupuncture patients and sold the excess to practitioners he’d trained with. Recommended by two best-selling authors, the business grew, year on year.

Shelley, Malcolm’s daughter, worked in the business as a teenager. She later studied herbalism and naturopathy, and now runs day-to-day operations. Malcolm and Shelley are supported by a small but strong team of dedicated staff.

Our Products

The catalogue lists our six unique health “programmes” to help various areas of the body; and both single herbs and mixtures in both capsules, and liquid form. The liquids are mostly “fluid extracts”, which are 5-10 times stronger than a tincture (you need less of them).

Our Company

Our herbal products are based on the formulations of Dr John Christopher, the trail-blazing herbalist and naturopath from Salt Lake City, USA. Our founder, Malcolm Simmonds, is one of the few UK practitioners to have met and trained with Dr Christopher.
