The rugged mountains, Mediterranean climate and clean air of the eastern Adriatic region, what was
At one time the ancient realm of "Illyria," modern day Albania, provide the ideal growing conditions for
A wide variety of medicinal herbs. In spite of the relatively small territory, Albania has a spontaneous flora
Of about 3200 species, of which more than 500 are medicinal plants.
Many Tribes have valued these botanicals over the centuries for their unique homeopathic healing abilities and wide
variety of other uses. These botanicals have been harvested for thousands of generations, providing a healthy lifestyle
and income for local communities and villagers. The region’s women usually gather these herbs; master botanists who
take their pack animals out with them to collect the herbs carefully by hand and then bring them off the mountain slopes
for processing to begin. The work of harvesting, gathering and transporting the native ethno herbs is difficult, and can
be dangerous due to the steep hillsides, loose rocks and high altitude mountainous terrain where the native plants grow.
It is important that herbs are harvested non-destructively to ensure the crop is available in subsequent years. Through
generations of teachings villagers have discovered techniques to harvest the herbs with sharp knives and care to ensure
the plants and their roots are not damaged. Once the herbs have been harvested and transported they are carefully air-
dried and sold to the packing company were local villagers sort the dried herbs for packing and shipment. For the
production of botanical extracts or medicinal oils the herbs undergo a careful steam distillation process.
In recent years successful trials have been undertaken by the Northern Shkrel Mountain District Farmers
Association, in collaboration with the New Illyria project and the United Nations Development Program to cultivate a
number of rare herbs that are native to the region, notably Sideritis, Savory, Chamomile,
Salvia, the Great Yellow Gentian Lutea, Thymus, Juniperus, Wild Marjoram and Lavender along with many other organic
wild sourced aromatic herbs and healing plants that have many uses.
The process has involved taking cuttings and seeds from original strands of wild plants and nurturing them under careful-
controlled greenhouse or "polytunnel" conditions then transplanting them to level ground in the valley. This produces an
increasing supply of wild sourced organic herbs, still harvested by hand, at the best possible controlled quality and
prices. Offered under the name brand “New Illyria" the resulting medicinal botanicals and other herbal products are of
the finest quality, unique, and in high demand.
New Illyria Mountain Botanicals and teas bring the richness of Old World Illyria to the New World!
Specializing in medicinal and aromatic plants, herbal teas, tinctures, remedies, botanical herbs, spices, industry
ingredients and essential oil extracts, New Illyria strives to bring the highest quality product to you. New Illyria natural
botanicals are grown without the use of fertilizers, pesticides, or preservatives therefore offering you the full medicinal
