Arnaud

A qualified pharmacist since 2003, I've always been passionate about phytotherapy and homeopathy. During my studies in Montpellier, I took a number of complementary courses in alternative medicine. When I took over the management of the Mailloles pharmacy in Perpignan, I applied my knowledge of alternative medicine to referencing the best suppliers and laboratories specializing in natural food supplements. I then launched the e-commerce site Soin-et-nature.com to bring the best prices for organic parapharmacy to as many people as possible. And naturally, I founded the pharmacy blog to share my passion for medicinal plants with my patients.
