About Symphony Natural Health
Symphony Natural Health is a conscious collective of creators, scientists, doctors, growers, and solution seekers, on a mission to help all people experience harmonious, integrative health.
Our all-natural, vegan products are clinically proven to address the root cause of health conditions, not just symptoms.
From seed to self, we control every step along the way. We start with organic and sustainable agriculture and create a unique process for every individual plant we work with based on its individual biology and chemistry, manufacturing all our products in our own GMP-certified facilities. Our joint ventures with local indigenous families and villages create year-round employment and generate up to ten times the income within those communities. All decisions are based on a triple-bottom-line approach, evaluating the financial, social, and environmental impact of everything we do.
We believe true health occurs when there is harmony between the interdependent symphony of systems within our body, and beyond us, including every living thing: ourselves, our community, the Earth we inhabit, and elements both visible and unseen.
