A Message from Autumn Blum, Founder and Group VP

In 1997, I met a man at a lab auction who asked if I could make him a natural shampoo with neem oil.

“Sure,” I said. "By the way, what's neem?"

Although I didn't know it at the time, my life was about to change! I was fresh out of school, working as a cosmetic chemist for a natural products company, soaking it all up like a sponge. It was fun -I was learning to formulate and run large-scale production, working with a really sharp botanist who was helping me to discover the power of herbs. At the time, if you had asked me to make you a shampoo with jojoba or tea tree, I could have run into the lab and come out a few hours later with a pretty decent product. But not with neem! Neem has some very complex components, and it took the better of six months to come up with a great formula. By then, Mr. Lab Man was nowhere to be found... and I was in love with the little known Neem tree.

Obviously, I no longer work for that other natural products company. Years have passed, and we now have 24 TheraNeem products and thousands of customers around the world devoted to them. TheraNeem is made with both certified organic neem leaf and most recently, certified organic neem oil. Sourcing is very important to me, and for this reason, we do not buy from brokers - instead we purchase all neem raw materials directly from the farm suppliers in India and Mexico... which leads to the TheraVeda product line in 2005, when I traveled to India to inspect our neem supply.

I hope you enjoy it, because I've sure enjoyed developing these products, working with a great group of people and being in this fantastic industry.

By the way, it is always wonderful getting a call or email from someone who has fought a condition for some time, tried different natural or pharmaceutical products, and finally found relief with Organix-South products! Please keep the feedback rolling - we all appreciate it!

Best of Health,
