I began my early experiments with
organically grown spice herbs, which! used fresh and combined with sea salt.
The outcome of these experiments culminated in the production of the well-known
herb seasoning salts Herb mare and Broodmare. These products became a success,
because all the vital and active substances in the two seasoning salts are from
fresh plants, and they have the appealing taste of herbs fresh from the garden.
Other mixtures of herb powders and salt do not have this advantage, since no
organically grown fresh plants are used in their manufacture. To put it in a
farmer’s words, they taste more like hay and do not appeal to everybody! Since
active and aromatic rashes or slow healing wounds.
The correctly selected herb tea
was also an excellent help for neuralgias, rheumatism and many other
complaints. Sometimes it was necessary to prepare a well selected mixture of
herbs according to old and traditional recipes. This well-tried method enabled
the people to benefit from the alterative mineral substances of each herb in
the mixture. Tinctures from dried herbs were also made in those days. The
results were good, since the alcohol was able to dissolve resins, oils and
other active substances, besides the minerals, for which reason tinctures are
still made today. However, experience has shown that some minerals, such as
silica, and various medicinal mucilage’s, do not dissolve easily in alcohol,
but do in water. This proves that a tincture cannot in every instance replace
an infusion. Encouraged by the example of my parents and forefathers, I learned
as a child the beneficial effects of eating medicinal plants fresh, that is to
say raw, and I often still use them this way. When! was still young I found out
about the efficacy of these plants, especially diuretic herbs and those that
stimulate the appetite. I also learned that fresh fruit has an entirely
different influence on the body than it does if it is eaten dried.
These observations and the
resulting conclusions convinced me that preparations made from fresh plants
contain more active suj,stances than those made from dried ones. We call such
products correctly fresh plant or fresh herb preparations. By using fresh
plants the preparation incorporates enzymes and vitamins, besides the active
minerals; also the aromatic substances are unchanged, and these themselves are
coupled with active substances.

The final outcome of these experiments culminated in the production of the
well-known herb seasoning salts Herbamare and Trocomare. These products became
a success, because all the vital and active substances in the two seasoning
salts are from fresh plants, and they have the appealing taste of herbs fresh
