About Us

Our Story

Four generations of Thai herbal wisdom, made for today.

Our family has preserved the herbal formulas of our great-grandfather for generations — remedies prescribed, sold, and proven through decades of real healing. In 1979, Pharm.D. Preeda Tangtrongchit brought those ancestral formulas to life, creating products proven effective for over 40 years. Today, the next generations carry that legacy to the world.

From our research-backed Phlai Oil & Balm and signature Herbal Medicated Cream to our fresh-extracted Green Balm and century-old inhaler recipes — every product is crafted in our own GMP PIC/S certified factory from herbs sourced directly from local Thai farmers.
