Hippocrates

Renowned worldwide as the “father of medicine,” Hippocrates was born in Kos around 460BC. It was he who freed the art of healing from the magical-religious conceptions of the past, rejecting the belief in the divine source of disease. 

Hippocrates studied medicine at the famous Asclepieion on the island and, influenced by the wealth and efficacy of the local herbs, he developed a deep faith in the healing power of Mother Nature. Medical historians generally look to Hippocrates as the founder of medicine as a rational science.

Hippocrates collected data and conducted experiments to show that disease was a natural process; that the signs and symptoms of a disease were caused by the natural reactions of the body to the disease process; and that the chief role of the physician was to aid the natural resistance of the body to overcome the metabolic imbalance and restore health and harmony to the organism.

Hippocrates used approximately 250 plants to treat ailments and diseases, many of which still grow on the island. Although he lists plants without descriptions -he assumed that his contemporary colleagues and herbalists would be familiar with them- it is not difficult to identify the majority. However, much care and knowledge is required to trace the survival of his influence through the still alive, but somewhat neglected, tradition of folk medicine. By rubbing their branches and their trunks, or crushing their leaves to release their aromas, one can begin to get a sense of their medicinal properties. This is precisely how, centuries ago, people such as Hippocrates could, with careful observation, a love for their fellow human and an understanding of balance and harmony, release their patients from pain and disease.

Hippocrates lived a very long life and died at a ripe old age in the town of Larissa in Thessaly where the company’s fields and facilities are located.

Herbs in Greece

It is widely agreed that the Greek climate is ideal for growing herbs, which are to be found in abundance, flourishing on mountainsides, and green meadows, where they grow naturally.

When walking through the beautiful countryside of Greece, especially in Thessaly (the biggest Greek valley), it is difficult not to crush the wild carpet of herbs underfoot; they grow so profusely, giving the air an aura unique to Greece.

Loads of aromatic and therapeutic herbs grow in Greece, one of the richest countries in biodiversity. The herbs found in Greece today, are the same herbs gathered thousands of years ago in Ancient Greece, and their uses have remained unchanged, not only to flavour delicious Greek cuisine, but also for medicinal purposes. Many resemble each other, in flavour, aroma, and in appearance, but Greeks through experience and knowledge, handed down from generation to generation, know what they are looking for.
