- The herbs that we source, harvest and bring to you as natural remedies come from the most bio-diverse and untouched place on the planet – the Amazon. This pure and natural part of the world is home to countless plants, animals and insects whose potential has yet to be discovered.
- But while Amazonian herbs may not be the most common alternative remedies, we’re not the only ones aware of the possibilities these plants hold. In fact, over 100 pharmaceutical companies are currently studying the indigenous flora, while harvesting the knowledge held by native shamans and healers in the Amazon.
- So what makes Amazonian herbs so potent and powerful that they can nurture the body?
- Well, some 80% of the food we eat originates from rainforests, so here at Raintree, we believe that since the Amazon is already so aligned to our diets, it makes sense that its plants can balance our bodies to promote health
- Rainforest plants are rich in secondary metabolites such as alkaloids. Biochemists believe that such compounds protect plants from harmful organisms and insect attacks, and studies have shown that many of these natural alkaloids are of medicinal value and benefit.
- When you consider that there are approximately 3,000 varieties of fruits in the rainforest and we only consume around 200 of those, doesn’t it seem like we’re missing out on some incredible health opportunities?

Potency
Integrity
- We all have access to a variety of natural remedies, many claim to aid the body in a number of different ways. However, when judging the quality of these alternative remedies, one should examine the natural ingredients used and the process each one went through before arriving at the shelf.
- At Raintree, we have committed ourselves to sourcing only the finest Amazon herbs and have researched the best regions in which these plants are grown.
- We are also careful to consider the times of the year when each one should be harvested for maximum effect. Once picked, these specially selected herbs are often ready to be delivered to you for your use within weeks.
- Since we believe in natural remedies and the benefit of the shamanic approach, there is no irradiation or fumigation of the herbs we use. These unnatural processes alter the plant’s cell structure and therefore reduce their potency and effectiveness, while adding harmful toxins.
- We take great care in how our herbs are processed and preserved, for example we use natural substances like grapefruit seed extract for cleansing. These processes also help to remove any harmful microbes that might develop. All of our processsing techniques are free from parabens and other harmful chemical treatments.
- Out of the 70-plus herbs that we offer, a large number of these are custom sourced by our local indigenous partners for Raintree and no other company; it could be that no one else is as pedantic and detailed as we are when it comes to the precise nature of the herbs required for effective natural remedies.
Authenticity
- When it comes to alternative methods and natural remedies, there are a lot of people claiming a lot of things – so what are we to believe?
- At Raintree we believe in our products’ authenticity because they are backed by traditional practices and modern findings.
- First of all, our formulas follow ancient shamanic traditions and ingredients that have been used for centuries to aid health. Secondly, we the use expert time tested formulas which truly express the potency of these herbs.
- Our products consistently get great reviews from the public and health practitioners alike.
- Raintree has naturopaths who have years of experience with herbs and are constantly studying the effects of these Amazonian herbs. By learning and understanding the methods of shamanic healers, we can continue to make products that can be used by everyone for better health.
Harmony
- Our planet should not be exploited. At Raintree we are dedicated to preserving the Amazon Rainforest and empowering its indigenous communities.
- As an integral part of the lungs of our planet, the Amazon Rainforest not only produces 20% of the world's oxygen but also houses an unparalleled level of biodiversity, there are literally millions of plant and animal species calling it home.
- At raintree the way in which we harvest these herbs is 100% sustainable but our commitment to ethical practices goes well beyond sustainable herb harvesting. We actively engage in reforestation efforts, ensuring that for every plant harvested, we plant multiple trees to maintain the forest’s ecological balance. We collaborate with, donate to, or directly fund partners and charities whose core focus is the Rainforest and indigenous communities; this promotes eco-friendly land management techniques, providing the indigenous people with the tools and knowledge to protect their ancestral lands for generations to come.
- In our pursuit of ethical sourcing, we solely collaborate with unique suppliers where there is fair trade partnerships with indigenous people, ensuring that these people receive fair compensation. By supporting local communities, we aim to create a positive ripple effect that uplifts livelihoods, preserves cultural heritage, and strengthens the bond between humanity and nature. By sourcing in this ethical way, it helps to provide an income stream to the indigenous people that is far more financially attractive than selling land for cattle farming. Land that is converted into cattle farming yields significantly less than $100 per acre, while timber brings a few hundred dollars per acre. However, harvesting the herbs we use in our products will provide the landowners with thousands of dollars per acre. Not only that, but this source of income generates revenue year after year, it is sustainable and employs indigenous people.
- We recognize that the Amazon Rainforest must be maintained, both for the local Amazonian population and for mankind at large. Join us at Raintree in our mission to not only safeguard the Amazon Rainforest but also to nurture a harmonious relationship between us and the environment. Together, we can create a sustainable future where the beauty and biodiversity of the Amazon thrives.
