Pharmacy Garden carries out laboratory tests on its herbs for pesticides and bacteria, which provides several important benefits for both health and product quality:

1. Security for the consumer:
- Tests for pesticides and bacteria ensure product safety by identifying and eliminating potentially harmful substances, protecting the consumer from dangerous chemicals or pathogens.

2. Quality assurance:
- Testing is part of our quality process and ensures high product quality by eliminating impurities, which maintains standards for medicinal herbs and ensures that products meet health requirements.

3. Prevention of health risks:
- Identification of contaminants in laboratory tests prevents potential health risks, such as allergic reactions or other adverse health effects, which may occur when consuming contaminated medicinal herbs.

4. Increased efficiency in treatment:
- Purer medicinal herbs without pesticides and bacteria are expected to provide increased treatment efficiency through a purer and more concentrated form of the active compounds.

5. Prevention of antibiotic resistance:
- Testing for bacteria is particularly important to counter the spread of antibiotic-resistant strains. Ensuring that medicinal herbs are free of harmful bacteria helps preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics and discourages the development of resistance.

Pharmacy Garden uses only wild-picked and small-scale cultivated medicinal herbs, giving unique advantages for their quality and healthful properties.

Wild-picked herbs:

These herbs develop a richer chemical composition when growing wild, increasing their therapeutic potential.

Small-scale cultivated herbs:

Cultivated with care and sustainable practices on small-scale farms, promoting local biodiversity and traditional farming practices.

Both wild-picked and small-scale cultivated herbs offer sustainable alternatives for herbal medicine, with richer nutrient profiles. The choice depends on personal preference and environmental considerations.

Our premium quality is mainly due to the use of wild-picked and small-scale cultivated medicinal herbs. For Pharmacy Garden, premium is when:

1. Natural Environment and Biodiversity:
- Wild-picked herbs grow naturally and are exposed to different climate and soil conditions, which increases biodiversity and broadens the spectrum of bioactive substances.
- Small-scale cultivated herbs promote local biodiversity and support ecosystem health through sustainable farming practices.

2. Increased Concentration of Active Ingredients:
- Wild-picked herbs may have higher concentrations of active compounds due to the natural stress they experience in the wild, enhancing their therapeutic effects.
- Small-scale cultivated herbs provide a healthy environment for the herbs, which leads to concentration of desired active substances.

3. Sustainability and Caring Cultivation:
- Wild-picked herbs contribute to the preservation of wild plant populations without excessive impact.
- Small-scale grown herbs promote local economies and sustainable farming practices with natural fertilizers and minimal use of chemicals.

4. Purity and Quality Control:
- Wild-picked herbs are of exceptional purity if gathered from unaffected locations.
- Small-scale cultivated herbs ensure higher quality and purity through better control over cultivation methods.
- Laboratory tests: Each batch of herbs is tested in accredited laboratories before packaging.

Consuming products with only 100% natural ingredients has many health and environmental benefits:

1. Cleaner and Healthier Alternatives: Natural ingredients are free from synthetic chemicals, dyes and artificial flavor enhancers, reducing health risks.

2. Nutritional Diversity: Natural ingredients usually contain a wide range of nutrients, which meet the body's needs in a comprehensive way.

3. Reduced Environmental Footprint: Products with natural ingredients require less processing and have a lower environmental footprint, which supports sustainability.

4. Hypoallergenic Alternatives: Natural ingredients are less likely to cause allergic reactions, which is beneficial for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

5. Promotion of Local and Sustainable Agriculture: By supporting products with natural ingredients, consumers can promote local and sustainable agriculture.

6. Promoting Conscious Consumption: Choosing products with 100% natural ingredients encourages conscious consumption and increased awareness of ingredient lists. It empowers consumers to make informed choices.

I think I want to die happy. That's why I started Pharmacy Garden. The idea is for the company to gain financial support in order to build a preschool for disabled children. Because when the day actually comes to leave this life, I want to be able to close my eyes and know that I actually made an active choice and tried to build my happiness. Give something that lasts long after one's time on earth. Something that hopefully inspires the children and others, must be the definition of what makes me happy. My two goals with this venture are:

The aim of the Pharmacy Garden:

- Get more time, laughter and conscious presence with the children, and those closest to me.
- Gain financial strength in the company to be able to finance a preschool for disabled children.

For a single parent, preschool is an incredibly important relief, even with perfectly healthy children. Therefore, I can only imagine how tough it must be to have a child with a disability without the possibility of relief. It is something I would like to give beyond my time to the children.

Our story

Minimal Medical Contamination:

Did you know that globally we use about 100,000 tons of industrially produced medical products, which ultimately affects our nature? Herbal medicine is much more environmentally friendly than industrially produced medicine. Studies from the University of Plymouth in the UK point to problems with medical contamination, including antibiotic resistance, behavioral changes and hormone disruption in animals. In addition, we create a cocktail effect through the thousands of industrially active substances that end up in the environment. Pharmacy Garden will always protect the environment, people and animals.

Of course, wild-picked and small-scale cultivated medicinal herbs also represent a sustainable choice for several other reasons:

Durability:

Biodiversity: Wild-picked herbs promote biodiversity by preserving natural plant communities and creating a balance in the ecosystem. Small-scale cultivated herbs often affect less land area and enable the preservation of local ecosystems.

Sustainable Agriculture:

Small-scale cultivations usually have a smaller environmental impact than large-scale commercial cultivations. By avoiding the overuse of chemicals and fertilizers, small-scale farming promotes sustainable farming practices.

Natural Growth Conditions:

Wild-picked herbs grow in their natural environments without fertilizers and chemical pesticides, minimizing the risk of medicinal contamination.

Cleaner Water Sources:

By avoiding the chemicals of modern medicine, wild-picked and small-scale cultivated herbs help preserve the purity of nearby water sources. This is critical to maintaining the health of the ecosystem.

Local Economic Development:

Support for Local Communities: Small-scale cultivation and wild picking often support local communities by creating jobs and economic support. This can help preserve traditional farming methods and create a stronger local connection to nature.

Preservation of Traditional Knowledge:

Wild-gathering and small-scale cultivation often promote the transmission of traditional knowledge about herbs and their uses, which is important for preserving cultural diversity and sustainability.
