The Company upholds a respected reputation for their extensive knowledge of herbs, in the medical community. The Company receives referrals from medical doctors who are not familiar with naturopathic medicine and are treating a patient who would like to try a natural remedy before a conventional medication. The current owners estimate that the majority of customers are returning customers or customers that have come to them based on referrals from other satisfied customers or medical professionals. The Company is owned by two business partners, one active partner, who runs the day to day business, keeping her hours to three days a week, and one MD who is not involved in the day to day operation, but has leveraged his knowledge and background to help build the outstanding reputation the company currently enjoys. Growth opportunities abound for the company, which has done little in the way of outbound marketing with their current location. They have created a substantial Web site with a very thorough listing of products and information along with full ecommerce capabilities that with an investment in marketing would yield another revenue stream for the new owners. ]]> </description>
