Herbal medicine
has always been a tradition in the Caribbean. Herbalists have been treating
illnesses and diseases for centuries. However, the necessary diagnostic
skills for identification of the illness, accurate dosage from of the herbs
used and proper documentation and labelling of the remedies have been lacking.
Eden Herbs was created to fill that void. Dr. Gilbertha St. Rose, Consultant
Medical Herbalist began production of therapeutic herbal medicine in 1996
Eden Herbs now manufactures authenticated organically grown or wildcrafted,
herbs with proper labelling and dosage recommendations.
The manufacture of these mixtures was based on training in England in
the pharmaceutical preparations of these herbs and aided by the scientific
