Just over a century ago, doctors were trained in nutrition, herbalism, and plant-based healing. Medicine wasn’t just about treating disease — it was about building health through food, plants, and lifestyle. Humanity had thrived on this wisdom for thousands of years.

Then, in 1910, everything changed. A single document — The Flexner Report — reshaped medicine forever. Marketed as a plan to “modernise” medical education, it was, in truth, a corporate takeover. Funded by America’s wealthiest industrialists, the Rockefellers and Carnegies, it pushed a vision of medicine that revolved around patentable drugs and chemical treatments.

Within a few short years, hundreds of naturopathic, homeopathic, and herbal medical schools were defunded and forced to close. The new “approved” medical schools were those that taught drug-based, surgery-first approaches.

They didn’t disprove natural medicine, they simply defunded it out of existence.

What had been a diverse ecosystem of healing became a single, pharmaceutical pipeline. Nutrition, prevention, and plant medicine were stripped from curricula, replaced by pharmacology and laboratory science. A new medical order was born, one that treated symptoms, not systems.

The Age of the Prescription

From that moment, a new paradigm took hold , one that taught us to silence the body rather than understand it.

Health became synonymous with prescriptions. A pill for pain. A tablet for sleep. A capsule for mood.

Food as medicine? “Unscientific.”
Plant compounds? “Alternative.”
Prevention? “Unproven.”

But this wasn’t the natural evolution of science , it was an engineered monopoly. The same industrial powers that funded the Flexner Report also built the pharmaceutical empires we still depend on today.

Instead of addressing the root causes of illness , diet, toxicity, nutrient depletion, stress, the system learned to suppress symptoms. As a result, humanity grew more disconnected from its own biology, more reliant on synthetic solutions, and less empowered to heal naturally.

The Rise of the Resistance

Yet, you can’t silence nature forever.

People are waking up. They’re realising that true health doesn’t come from a prescription pad, it comes from reconnection: to food, to the earth, to the body’s innate intelligence.

The modern revival of natural medicine isn’t a “trend.” It’s a rebellion against the industrialisation of healing. A return to what our ancestors already knew: that plants, when used with knowledge and intention, nourish us at the deepest level.

We’re not following the wellness wave,  we’re leading a return to roots. Our mission is simple:

  •  Put powerful plant nutrition back at the centre of health.

  •  Cut through a century of corporate conditioning.

  •  Rebuild the human connection with real food and real healing.

We believe health isn’t built in laboratories , it’s built in soil, sunlight, and the daily choices that align us with nature’s intelligence.

We’re not here to sell supplements.
We’re here to restore the natural order of health , to remind humanity that the greatest medicine was always growing all around us.
