Herbal Capsules / Rio Trading
Rio Health Direct has specialized in the herbs of the Amazon Rainforest for
over fifteen years. By far the greatest concentration of plant species on the
planet is to be found in the Amazon basin.
It is estimated that over 80%
of the earth's bio-diversity is located in this amazing profusion. Amongst this
huge biomass there are thought to be many plant species with therapeutic
possibilities. Graeme Lewis and Ben Nash have together led Rio Health for the
last fourteen years. Graeme,who, visits the Amazon region regularly, has a
theory that may lead him to some very interesting discoveries.
Although
from the air the jungle canopy may look like a wild diverse confusion, there are
signs that hand the hand of man may once, thousands of years ago, have been
involved in the selection and planting of species. Some food plants, for
instance, not native to the Amazon basin, appear along clearly defined routes
stretching hundreds of miles, as if they had been sketched to support travelers.
So do some of the known medicinal plants. In the intervening centuries the
pathways of this vast herb garden have become overgrown and unclear, but head
westward from Manaus, along an ancient route may bring to light some very
special new plant by the wayside.
