our story
Our dispensary is not the average dispensary - we stand solid on our central definition what makes ‘good medicine’ and only stock herbs and supplements that meet our very high standards for this.
Our medicines are certified organic or sustainably produced and many are handmade for you in our very own lab. We have built relationships with our farmers and suppliers for over 30 years of trading and supporting their small businesses and we value these connections.
This unbroken connection from plant, into the hands of the farmer and into our hands to make medicine for you and your family - is the connection we work to deliver into all of our medicines so that you benefit with thriving health.
Hygēa prides itself on its unshakable ethics in every contact we have with our customers our suppliers and and in the care for the plants and medicines we use.
