For centuries the power of roots, berries and plant matter has been used to ease aches, pains and provide a legitimate source for healing agents in folk medicine and eventually healthcare. In fact, the first modern Pharmacopoeia was published in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1776, and all of the preparations contained therein were derived mainly from plants. Today, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Nutraceuticals, Pharmaceuticals and Phyto-medicinals all contribute to a multi-billion dollar industry and possibly the single largest investment in research and development.
Plants are the most abundant source of material for all of these industries, and a tremendous amount of research has been directed toward the scientific understanding of botanicals and their chemical compositions. In recent decades, the search for new drugs and the safe, effective means for delivery, have expanded the quest for plant compounds to every region of the world, from marine environments to tropical rain forests.
For many years naturopathic physicians and complementary healthcare practitioners have utilized preventative medicines, and this has paved the way for a revival of self-care products and the renewed use of phyto-medicinal products.
Phyto-medicines are plant-derived compounds that give the body access to many biodynamic compounds, which rejuvenate the body while providing an integrative approach to healthcare and recovery. To date, many of these compounds were NOT adequately researched, standardized, synthesized, nor commercially available to consumers. In the recent past, someone might have been willing to participate in a proactive recovery after physical trauma, disease or illness through the use of complementary phyto-medicines, but the investigation required to make such an endeavor practical or safe, was prohibitive to the layperson.
More recently, the globalization of markets and the subsequent diversification of information from many cultures has spawned the integration of science, agriculture, anthropology and healthcare. Now more than ever, the consumer has access to synthesized phyto-medicines and complementary therapies indigenous to many regions of the world, and each is capable of rejuvenating and revitalizing the body in a specific way. These complementary medicines are assisting individuals to overcome many types of physical trauma, disease or illness that to date would have quickly removed the potential for recovery and challenged a person's commitment to life itself.
In addition to phyto-medicines, nutraceuticals have also played a significant role in the development of bio-available compounds that facilitate healing or otherwise provide very good opportunity for the efficacy of pharmaceutical grade nutrients and other medicines, providing direct therapeutic benefits to the patient or consumer.
At Reviva Bios, our primary focus is on customer support, enhanced nutrition and the quality and safety of the phyto-medicinal products we research and manufacture. It's our belief that a person challenged by any foreign contaminant must first access the will to revive, but then the individual must have access to all the necessary "tools" that will guarantee a safe and sustained recovery. At Reviva Bios we're committed to providing those tools in the form of synthesized phyto-medicines and plant-derived healing agents. |
