When crushed, its leaves give an aromatic smell that the Maasai use as a deodorant. Alternative uses include smoking it in place of nicotine by some communities in South Africa. It is also a great source of wood fuel and timber that is termite resistant.Its uses in traditional medicine however was the inspiration behind us naming our pharmacy after this versatile plant.

It is this kind of holistic approach that makes the basis of our mission when deciding the best course of treatment working together with our patients and customers.
