There are about 70 thousand chemical substances adopted by mankind. Only 6 thousand of those have been evaluated on the risk they pose to humans and the environment. The soil and the human body are affected by the daily use of these chemicals. Is the industrialized medicine really indispensable to solve every health issue? Is the agrochemical really indispensable to agricultural production? Those are important issues that lay on the hands of businessmen and politicians, far beyond our reach.

Being it as it is, we often feel powerless regarding our own health. Have you ever felt like you have been using too many industrialized medications and harming your body? Have you ever felt harmed when you watch the news showing that agrochemical levels are above regulatory established limits, even when our country already permits too much of it?

There are simple attitudes that you can begin today and that can make a very big difference in your life. There is this saying "if you want something well done, do it yourself". You are the person that is most concerned with your own health!

So how about considering a medicinal and gastronomical garden? Growing medicinal species in your garden, you will not need to use that many industrialized medicines. Growing edible species, you will not have to leave the comfort of your home to go after all the ingredients for your diet increasing healthy ingredient use in your daily life and decreasing agrochemical ingestion. On top of that, your expenses with the pharmacy and the market will be reduced in the same proportion as your quality of life will grow

Thinking about that, we created the Garden Prescription. This service is a personalized consultation with our landscape designer pharmacist Ana Cimbleris. The service includes cataloging the medicinal and edible plants you already have and guiding you on how to obtain their full potential; information about taking care of your plants; and suggestion of species that can be useful for you and your family considering your health needs and the available gardening space.

We also make Your Garden Manual: Enjoying and Caring, with pictures and information about medicinal and culinary uses for your plants, loaded with information about cultivating and keeping your garden well taken care of. This is developed counting on scientific studies and 15 years of solid experience in the field.

A lot of times, when we choose our plants – or hire a professional to do it – we end up focusing on beauty alone. But why not make a medicinal and gastronomical garden that is at the same time beautiful, smart and useful? A lot of people have medicinal and edible plants at hand but do not know it, or do not know the right way to use them effectively and safely. That is why people often miss the opportunity to enjoy the full potential of their plants because of lack of knowledge.

Ask anyone who grows their own medicine and herbs if it is worth it, and you will get a unanimous answer: of course it is! People who take care of themselves get superior results in every field of their lives.

Enjoy full health through your Medicinal and Gastronomical Garden!
