VITALITY FROM FRANTSILA HERBS


The main aim in the processing of our products is to preserve the healing powers of Finnish plants as much as possible. Finland´s pure nature, biological farming and optimal timing of harvesting and processing ensure the effectiveness of our herbal products.

FINNISH HERBS HAVE SUPERIOR QUALITY:

§Finland is one of the less polluted countries in the world.

§ Long sunny days and cool nights give many herbs superior aromatic and medicinal content, compared with the ones grown in warmer countries.

§ Research has revealed that herbs for instance from Central Europe contain 2-7 times more heavy metals than Finnish herbs.

THE HERBS OF FRANTSILA HERB FARM ARE UNIQUE:

§ The herbs are picked when they are at their best.

§ We dry our herbs quickly at low temperatures to preserve their qualities and ensure good microbiological purity.
