Why did I start an herbal tincture company?
Holistic medicine, preventive health practice and herbs were a strong ”hobby” of mine for a very long time. Friends and family would say it is my passion and true calling. I dedicated many years to researching the latest innovations in the field, meeting with leading doctors, and experimenting with herbal remedies for benefit of family and friends.
In many ways, this was my destiny from early childhood. My dad was a self-taught guru herbalist, and he introduced me to the power of herbs and the “secrets” of perfecting extraction. I witnessed how my dad, after being severely wounded in WWII, cured himself with herbal remedies. We were lucky to have a small farm in Ukraine, where we grew greens, herbs, berries, and fruits. This natural and fresh bounty served as my dad’s laboratory, and I learned from our amazing, real-life results. Later, when I suffered a nearly fatal head trauma, I recuperated thanks to the help of some very skilled surgeons and my dad’s post-op intensive care with herbal medicine. The seed of passion and knowledge was instilled in me from an early age.
Fast forward a few decades, and in the 1980s I immigrated to New York with my young family to continue my herbal adventure. I had the privilege of meeting with some great holistic doctors (some names) from whom I learned a ton and dug into scientific papers and research on herbal remedies. Trained as a scientist—my nature had always been to seek, learn and experiment. But the idea of starting my own herbal business never crossed my mind. In fact, I knew perfectly well that it was a hugely competitive and crowded marketplace.
So, what changed my mind and stoked my fire to create my own line of liquid herbal remedies? My dear wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 7 years ago, and I was truly shocked. I mobilized all my knowledge, experience and connections with doctors and scientists to bring the best holistic support to augment the traditional cancer therapy my wife was receiving.
