Discover Western phytotherapy at De NatuurApotheek: high-quality herbal extracts and customized preparations based on ESCOP guidelines. Safe, effective, and tailored to your practice. WESTERN PHYTOTHERAPY Western phytotherapy Western phytotherapy offers various forms of preparation and application. Below you can read how De NatuurApotheek composes herbal formulas — from raw herbs and standard dosages to liquid extracts and external applications. What is Western Phytotherapy? Customized preparation – Western Phytotherapy Dried extracts / extractum siccum (ES) Liquid extracts / extractum fluidum (EF) and tinctures (TC) Raw herbs (herba) External applications Volatile and essential oils (VO) Standard dosages of Western herbs Our proprietary product lines Supplementary assortment of Western Phytotherapy 1 Wat is west fyto WHAT IS WESTERN PHYTOTHERAPY? What is Western Phytotherapy? Western phytotherapy uses plants and herbal extracts as active ingredients to naturally support the body. De NatuurApotheek works according to ESCOP guidelines for quality and safety and offers customized herbal formulas, tailored to the needs of practitioners and patients. Phytotherapy is an ancient science where the power of plants is applied to promote health. In contrast to synthetic medicines, phytotherapy solely uses plant-based substances, in their natural or processed form. Scientific basis and tradition De NatuurApotheek works according to the guidelines of the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP) , a leading organization that promotes scientific research on phytotherapy. We combine this scientific insight with traditional knowledge to safely and effectively prepare individualized formulas. Our phytotherapeutic products include: Raw herbs (cut and ground) Extracts (tinctures, liquid extracts, dried extracts) Capsules, tablets, and syrups for user convenience and accurate dosing Phytotherapy is not homeopathy Phytotherapy is often confused with homeopathy, but they are two completely different approaches: Phytotherapy works with measurable, active plant ingredients and effective dosages. Its action is directly based on the pharmacological properties of the plants. Homeopathy uses highly diluted substances following the principle of "like cures like," where dilution (potency) plays a central role. Thus, phytotherapeutic remedies have real and measurable biochemical effects — just like regular medicines — making professional guidance crucial, especially in combination with other medication. Phytotherapeutics vs. dietary supplements t is also important to distinguish between phytotherapeutics (regulated under pharmaceutical law) and dietary supplements (considered food). While dietary supplements are aimed at general support, phytotherapeutics are used for specific complaints or recovery. Both have value, but differ in use, regulation, and legal status. Tailored safety at De NatuurApotheek Each patient is unique. That’s why De NatuurApotheek produces fully customized phytotherapeutic preparations, based on your practitioner’s prescription. We guarantee high-quality, pharmaceutical-grade preparations with great care for safety and effectiveness. Want to learn more about our phytotherapeutic options?

This process concentrates the active compounds, resulting in a potent and long-lasting product. Strength ranging from 10:1 to 41:1 (10 parts herb yield 1 part extract). Wide selection of single herbs in dry extract form. Consistent quality through controlled production and analytical certificates. Compositions In addition to single extracts, De NatuurApotheek also offers customized herbal formulas. Any desired composition possible, tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

Strength ranges from 1:1 to 1:3, depending on the ingredients. Optimal extraction of active substances Better shelf life and more efficient than aqueous extracts User-friendly and easy to dose Alcohol improves absorption of active compounds and prolongs the extract’s shelf life. Tinctures (TC) A tincture is a traditional alcoholic herbal extract. In Europe, a 1:10 ratio is common, but De NatuurApotheek applies a standard 1:5 ratio, which offers several advantages: Higher concentration, lower alcohol intake More pleasant to use and more affordable Fully adjusted according to the protocols of Jeremy Ross These tinctures are widely used in practice and are effective for various applications. Syrups Syrups offer an accessible way to take liquid extracts or essential oils. Contain 20% liquid extract in syrup base Shelf life: 2 years Available in a sugar-free version Syrups make intake easier and are particularly suitable for children and patients who prefer to avoid alcohol. 4 ruwe kruiden RAW HERBS (HERBA) De NatuurApotheek supplies raw herbs in various administration forms, tailored to the needs of prescribers and patients. Our product range includes: Loose herbs Capsules Tablets Loose herbs Raw herbs are available in two forms: Cut herbs – suitable for making teas (infusions or decoctions). Powder form – can be easily processed into capsules or other preparations. The traditional use is an herbal tea, consumed throughout the day. This is a simple and relatively inexpensive way to take herbs, but the dosage is less precise and the taste is personal. For clean and easy preparation, De NatuurApotheek offers special tea bags upon request. When prescribing, always explicitly indicate that it concerns raw herbs! Capsules The powdered form of raw herbs can be encapsulated, allowing for precise dosing. Standard available dosages: 250 mg and 500 mg per capsule . Capsules dissolve in the stomach, releasing and absorbing the active compounds quickly. Tablets Raw herbs in powder form can also be pressed into tablets containing 500 mg of herb per tablet, with plant-based excipients added to improve stability and absorption. 7 ext toepassingen EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS For effective local treatment, various application forms are possible. The choice of base depends on the skin condition and the desired effect. Examples of basic products for external application: Cream – oil-in-water emulsion, suitable for moist skin Ointment – fatty, water-free base for dry skin Lotion – liquid solution based on water, alcohol and/or glycerin Milk – light emulsion, absorbs quickly Shampoo – specifically for scalp and hair treatments General rule : apply moist preparations (cream, lotion, milk) to moist skin, and dry preparations (ointment) to dry skin. In addition, there are gargles, eye, nasal, and ear drops for specific local treatments. For non-local effects, suppositories, enemas, ovules, and vaginal irrigations are used. De NatuurApotheek offers a wide range of external base products, such as w/o-emulsions, o/w-emulsions, and various creams and ointments . For plant-based active ingredients, we generally use a 20% tincture of the requested plant mixture when applicable. Essential oils may also be incorporated as active substances in the formulation. All creams and ointments are supplied in tubes as standard. Thanks to our extensive stock, we can produce customized preparations directly. 8 vluchtige vette olien VOLATILE AND FIXED OILS (VO) De NatuurApotheek offers a wide range of volatile and fixed oils, carefully selected and processed according to the highest quality standards. These oils are used for both therapeutic and care applications.

De NatuurApotheek offers a wide selection of pure essential oils, both in pure form and processed into syrups, base oils or capsules for accurate dosing and easy use. We also produce gelled oils , which feel like ointments and absorb quickly, but consist purely of oil. Aromatic waters Produced as described in pharmacopoeias, essential oils are dissolved in water to create aromatic waters. These are ideal for care applications with therapeutic effects. They can be used as mouthwash, mouth spray, skin refreshers, facial or body sprays . Base and massage oils Unlike essential oils, base oils are fatty and virtually odorless. They serve as carriers for essential oils but are also used as lubricants during massage. Where synthetic alternatives exist, De NatuurApotheek prefers pure plant-based, cold-pressed oils of the highest quality. Oil infusions Besides water- and alcohol-based extracts, herbs can also be extracted in oil, resulting in oil infusions. Well-known examples are calendula oil, arnica oil, and St. John’s wort oil. These infusions are intended for external use only . Bath oils Vegetable oils can be enriched into bath oils, to which volatile oils or herbal extracts are added. This offers a pleasant and effective way to absorb therapeutic substances through the skin. Do you have a specific idea or application in mind?
