Since the “discovery” of Brasil that some native brasilian herbs are part of the Portuguese herbal culture; this fact, visiting Brasil and traveling in the Amazonia rain forest brought to Floramor´s assortiment brasilian species, some of which are classic in Portugal and some that are “classic” only among the Indians.
While in the Amazónia Lila met the creaters of the Amazonia Flower Remedies – Florais da Amazónia. Being interested in the subject (fascinated by the findings of Dr. Bach) she participated in their workshops and decided to bring Florais da Amazónia to Floramor.

Lila´s biography.
My link with herbs and nature started at birth in a isolated community in the mountains of north Portugal, with no electricity, no motor road.There were no doctors either, so, as anywhere else on the globe in the same situation, people turn to the nature for remedies.
My maternal grand mother with whom I lived, knew many herbal secrets and could help many people; she used to take me with her on hikes into distant hills and valleys in search of specific herbs and I became her assistant during healing sessions.
I left my native place and my grand mother in order to pursue a school education in the city and later abroad; but the years spent with her and her teachings are ever more vivid and precious.
Meanwhile, in the big world, the asthma that I inherited was manifesting increasingly and I tried modern medicines and specialists of reputation all over Europe with very poor results and destructive side effects.
Many years later on a spiritual quest I found myself in the Himalayas the pupil of a yogi who had renounced the world in which he had been a doctor. He seemed to know all the plants that grew in the jungles where he had made his home. One day he collected some leaves to make asthma cigarettes for a chella; I immediately recognized the plant that often, as a kid, I had to inhale the smoke to get relief from asthma. This was turning the direction of my search for healing back to the roots.

Passionate traveler, always interested in folk medicine and the native species of the places I visited while traveling in India, Mongolia, South America and Europe. I find out that many species are to be found all over and are used for the same ends, as is the case of datura stramonium leaves for asthma. Later in life and back in Europe, needing a new occupation I folowed an old track: visited village healers/herbalists in remote areas of Portugal, where this knowledge is still alive. I started to colect herbs in the wild during holidays. I have access to first kwality herbs legally plucked in the wild nature and from bio-producers in sunny Portugal; that´s how the idea came of starting a small distribution in Holland, mainly Amsterdam, creating Floramor Kruiden. In my quest for good suppliers I made the aquaintance of a family in Portugal that produce bio-certified herbs and several generations dedicated to the distilation of medicinal herbs to obtain their quintessence – the pure essential oils of aromatherapy. I was interested in the subject, I had followed courses of Aromatherapy in Holland Germany, learned how to use the scents, tried them with success and so we find some products of aromatherapy in the list of Floramor products.
