At Mediherb Pharm we have produced a range of herbal tonics, tinctures, soaps, creams, capsules, and ointments that have little or no side effects at all.

I started my business as a legacy for my kids but mostly to become an example to the youth in my community that no matter how difficult life may be, it's possible to come from a disadvantaged place and still make it big.

Helping make people's lives easier makes me proud to wake up every morning.

I believe in energy efficiency and saving the planet from dangerous emissions that traditional power solutions to clean air gas heating and cooling.

My hope is that every single home would save both power and money by installing gas, which has the effect of reducing our carbon emissions and hence reduce the effects of global warming and pollution.

Starting a business is risky and difficult but it can be life-changing. I love being my own boss and having the opportunity to help others. 

Owning my own company excites me every day because of the opportunities to grow and create a better life for myself. I want to win an award as the best company one day!
