The shop offered dried herbs, homoeopathic remedies, essential oils, Bach flower remedies, and a range of toiletries based on herbs and essential oils.〔Nachman, Sherrie: (The Unbeaten Path: In London, a New (Age) England ), ''The Washington Post'', 3 May 1998.〕〔(Marks and Spencer's Rose honoured ), ''BBC News'', December 29, 2007.〕 In 1985 a small factory was opened in South London to meet increasing demand. In 1986 they opened two new shops and they have continued to grow.
