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.
