Healing Herbs & Himachal Pharmaceuticals
The business has been handed down to us by our forefathers who taught us how to nurture herbs. We’ve expanded it over time to include manufacturing natural tea, health supplements, natural medicines, skin care products and pharmaceutical ingredients.
We divide our work into two branches which are independent running outfits – Healing Herbs and Himachal Pharmaceuticals.
Healing Herbs aims at healing the mind, body and soul through its wide offering of natural supplements, skin care products, aphrodisiacs and medicines. All the products draw inspiration from ancient ayurvedic texts but are based on modern science in the field of herbs and natural extracts. Healing Herbs markets these products through various channels and specializes in manufacturing herbs and natural products for private labels or as third-party manufacturers.Healing Herbs
Himachal Pharmaceuticals specializes in isolation of active principles from natural sources through semi-synthesis. This results in the production of Phytochemicals, which are used by other pharmaceutical companies as their raw material.Himachal Pharmaceuticals
