BOTAVIE Leader in Europe for products from the UNANI Tradition
The Unani Tradition...so distant and yet so close!
Origins of the Unani Tradition
The Unani Tradition is based on the theory of Humors, itself at the heart of Hippocratic medicine.
Its principles were adopted and developed later, notably by Galen and Ibn Sina, better known as Avicenna.
Basic principles
The Unani Tradition
.considers the human body as a WHOLE and not as an assembly of parts
.concerns the PHYSICAL as well as PSYCHICAL state of the person
.takes into account the effects of the environment on the person
.prioritize above all the use of Plants and good diet
.considers that Nature tends “naturally” towards conservation, therefore, it is by supporting the self-healing
mechanisms that exist in each of us that illness is overcome or kept at bay.
“Strengthen the body so that the body takes care of the disease.”
.attaches primary importance to Prevention
In this context
. plants
. Food "Let Food be thy Medicine - Hippocrates"
. Hygiene of life (of which exercise, fasting, sleep and psyche are part)
....are our main allies.
The strengthening of physical, mental and spiritual forces, the maintenance of the human body in a state of balance,
harmony and vigor, this is the path traced by the Unani Tradition.
Are Hippocrates and the “Hippocratic doctors” resolutely modern?
Alter Phyto: A Swiss company bringing you high quality products and brands.
AlterPhyto offers the BOTAVIE and IRELIA products that you can now buy in a single site.
BOTAVIE and IRELIA are sister companies ...
Botavie's vocation has been, since its inception in Geneva in 1999, to offer products made entirely of plants, actually blends of plants, developed according to the principles of the Unani Tradition. The result is unique, 100% herbal formulas, whose proven recipes in the purest artisan tradition have earned the trust of an ever and more demanding and larger clientele.
However, you have been many and long since claiming other types of products. But Botavie could not meet these needs without transgressing its fundamental principle, which is to offer only blends of plants, 100% natural, to a clientele more and more convinced of the effectiveness of its blends of plants from the Unani Tradition.
Eager to respond to these requests, BOTAVIE established in 2006 a sister company; IRELIA, whose vocation is to offer single-plant products like Olive Leaves, Cistus Creticus, Reishi or Cordyceps for starters.
BOTAVIE and IRELIA share the same goal: Always offer its customers cutting-edge products of the highest efficiency.
