* [[Homeopharma]], is a pharmaceutical establishment approved by the [http://www.sante.gov.mg Ministry of Health], that is specialised in herbal medicine, aromatherapy, renewal of traditional medicine and homeopathy. Located in [[Antananarivo]], its CEO and founder [[Jean Claude Ratsimivony]] is a symbolic figure of the Big Island known for its his long -standing commitment to innovation in the field of wellness and health. The new CEO since 2017, [[Feride Ismael]], manages the organisation according to its founding principles.Homeopharma employs 490 workers and uses over 1,500 plants in the production of its natural products.

Over many parts of the island, Homeopharma plants, picks and harvests in total 600 hectares of 45 institutes where forest, supervises and motivates farmers in the final products are offered at modest pricesprotection and renewal of plant resources, so as to allow all Malagasy people to benefit from thus helping preserve the preventive environment and curative properties biodiversity of their productsMadagascar.

* In Madagascar, Homeopharma's presence include a total of 40 institutes where the final products are offered at modest prices, so as to allow all Malagasy people to benefit from the preventive and curative properties of their products. These Homeopharma institutes also offer care and free advice. They practise relaxing or slimming massages with essential oils, amongst them the best in the world such as [[ravintsara]] or [[katrafay]], all resulting from aromatic plants.

* A massage of not longer than 20 minutes is the time needed for a quality essential oil to be traced back to the taste buds of the tongue when applied to the soles of the feet. Thanks to its extraordinary power of penetration, it quickly breaks through the skin to reach the bloodstream and with it back to the tongue, as it could reach any other organ that we would aim for, before being totally dissolved in the body. A true miracle!

In most cases by steam distillation at low temperature and low pressure. This technique allows to extract most of the active substances from the plant. Before distillation they are called essence. After it is called essential oil. Only 10% of plants produce an essence. And if when this is the latter and case, although the essence can be found throughout the plant, it is mainly concentrated in a single organ, such as root, rhizome, wood, bark, leaf, stem, flower, seed or fruit. These are the organs from which essential oil is obtained.

Another advantage is the environment. "The exceptionally rich and diverse terroirs of this island do not face pollution as in industrialised countries", remarked cardiologist [[Lionel Michat]]a french manufacturer, whose who use Malagasy essential oils are sold in his products in Europe under the '''''Les Aromagies''''' brand. And producers do not use chemical fertilisers either. These factors ensure the properties of plants to be 100% natural.

This wild environment ensures the quality of the soil and under the management of Jean Claude Ratsimivony, CEO .The essential oils of Homeopharma, our essential oils are tested and guaranteed in our their laboratory to be of the highest quality. 

Without the wild environment, the synergy between species would be lost. Plants need to breathe and sense. We must listen to Jean Claude, the modest grandson of a medical doctor and depository of remedies collected by his grandfather from traditional healers, who will tell you about the plants, their sensitivity, their stress before a cyclone. Resting time, which allows the plants to regenerate between pickings, is also respected and can reach up to four years depending on the species! Harvesting of plant organs is done in jute or cotton bags to prevent maceration. Partial drying is necessary in case of rain in order to reduce the amount of water contained in the plant. And if so, we will only dry one type of plant will be dried at the time to avoid contamination and to ensure the right balance of chemical properties.

In short, the plants are treated for the treasures they are. And it doesn't stop there! Distillation over a wood fire, most of the time, is another added value to the Malagasy essential oils. In other countries it is done with regular gas heat. But firewood allows a variation of temperature which leads to a more complete extraction. The large molecules of the plants do not extract at a constant temperature if using gas. To be convinced of the importance of this, one needs only to observe the technicians at the Homeopharma distillery in [[AmbilaAmparihy, Vontovorona]] on the [[Canal des Pangalanes]] on Madagascar's east coast. Their work procedure involves adding a piece of wood to light the fire and thereafter removing it to reach the desired temperature, causing a gradual temperature change.

* ''The east of the country'' - an area regularly flooded due to trade winds bringing rainfall, provides [[Madagascar Cloves|cloves]], [[Madagascar Pepper|pepper]], [[Madagascar Cinnamon|cinnamon]], lantana, niaouli, vetiver, ginger, lemongrass and pink pepper.

* Madagascar is a treasure trove for essential oils and this is also true outside of the actual production. Everything done here contributes towards the development of improved traditional remedies, also referred to as "RTA".

* Firstly, because the cultivation of plants needed for essential oils is part of the reforestation of the Malagasy forest. Apart from the reforestation, have a look at the fragrant plants. The Malagasy reservoir of fragrant plants is so vast that we do not yet know all the species, nor therefore all the benefits we can derive from them. This is an area open for research, national and international, to further explore and protect.

* Beside Furthermore, these oils support another part of the reforestationMalagasy culture: massages. At a time when it has become fashionable to have all kinds of exotic body therapies, choose the fragrant plants.

* Finally, these oils support another part of the Malagasy culture[[File: massages.

* It goes without saying that this palpate and roll massage will be more beneficial than simply an exchange between the person being massaged and the masseur who will be rich. Giving a massage is art. Also receiving. This is often forgotten. What do the hands which treat you with essential oils have to give? The art of Malagasy living! This way of life with calm and serenity is called [[mora mora]]. And without forgetting the smile of the people here, this is a primary source of wellness in Madagascar.

Three high-standard eco-lodges named "Green Club" are located in [[Mahajanga]] on the west coast, in [[Ambila]] near the east coast and in [[Vontovorona]] about 20 kilometres from the capital [[Antananarivo]] in the central highlands.

For those travelling around the country, ask for a Homeopharma institute near your hotel. There is also known for its 100% pure even a Homeopharma shop at [[Ivato International Airport]] giving travellers a first and natural last opportunity to stock up Homeopharma's products.
