Artemis Herbal Medicine

Quality

In European herbal medicine as in any herbal tradition, the specific healing properties of medicinal plants are essential for a therapeutically successful recipe. But there are additional fundamental aspects that are intrinsic to the quality and potency of a herbal remedy; freshness, purity, concentration and consistency.

The 4 key points to quality:

• freshness
• purity
• concentration
• consistency

Fresh
For the compounding of creams and tinctures (oral liquid) plant extracts are needed. Plant extracts from freshly harvested herbs have a more profound healing effect and ensure better therapeutic results than extracts made from dried herbs (Valerian and Passion flower are two of the very few exceptions to this rule). The experiences of traditional herbalists over centuries, and modern scientific studies have proven this.

Fresh herbs have a wider spectrum of active ingredients like enzymes, vitamins, essential oils and minerals and as a result work more efficiently and profoundly. By harvesting herbs in the right season and processing them immediately we capture the active constituents and vital essence of the plant. For this reason the ARTEMIS Fresh-plant Cream & Tincture range has optimal bioavailability and outstanding healing impact. They are effective already at a low dose and typically only require 1/5 of the dose of a dry plant tincture, making them very economical.

Pure
ARTEMIS takes care to use organically grown herbs - locally grown whenever possible - and our manufacturing processes are inspected and audited regularly by AsureQuality, New Zealand's official organic certification agency. Our entire herbal remedies range is strictly GE free. This ensures top quality herbs for optimal therapeutic impact and safeguards our environment.

ARTEMIS is proud to manufacture our remedies in the purest form possible. NO artificial colours, flavours or fillers are added to our Herbal Tea Therapies, Body Care Therapies or Health Syrups making these quality herbal products hypo-allergenic, safe and suitable for all age groups, including infants and children (check for individual product indications).

Potent
ARTEMIS Body Care Creams are the strongest herbal creams in New Zealand, providing professional quality for fast and long lasting relief. ARTEMIS is the only company in New Zealand that adds the maximum percentage of liquid herbal extract (30%) to creams, thus ensuring the swift easing of discomforts. The superior strength of ARTEMIS Body Care Creams which is up to 6x stronger than other creams on the market makes them popular for personal as well as for professional use in Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Massage Clinics, Sports Centres and Herbal Dispensaries, where reliable therapeutic results are expected and required. Try checking other herbal creams for their volume of tincture content - it's usually an amazingly tiny percentage - if it is declared at all!

Consistent
At ARTEMIS we use the holistic, traditional protocol of standardisation achieved by careful harvesting (e.g. right time of the day, the season) and processing according to well proven herbal manufacturing guidelines. In other words, we do not use chemically manipulated standardisation, so our remedies are a true reflection of how the plants grow in nature.
