[MPWG] Fw: [Phytomedica] Consumption of medicinal teas

Mon Mar 13 21:52:12 CST 2006

The European Herbal Infusions Associaiton (EHIA) has some market data posted at their site, but you might also contact them: http://www.ehia-online.org/index.html

But their membership is only dealing with beverage teas, not medicinal teas, an entirely separate market.

Sidroga is the largest medicinal herb tea company in the German speaking countries (Austria, Germany and Switzerland). They are a pharmacy-only brand. Their website provides information on the size of the company and their annual turnover: http://www.sidroga.ch/en/2900.htm

Some Central-European tea brands are pharmacy only (e.g. H&S and Sidroga) while others are found in pharmacies, drugstores, and natural food stores (e.g. Kneipp, Salus Haus, Weleda). 

There are, of course, various expensive reports that one can purchase, like the following (although I don't know the quality of the below reference report, it is just an example):

  Hi

  I am a third year nutrition BSc student in the UK. I am working on my  
  project: the antioxidant activity of herbal and fruit teas. I am 
  looking for some information on the consumption or popularity of 
  medicinal teas (as prepared from loose herbs) in the UK, Europe and 
  America. I have searched all of the journal databases and have found 
  nothing so far. 

  Does anyone know if where I can get hold of the information that I am 
  looking for?

  Thank you,
