MediHerb was co-founded by Kerry Bone, a first class honors graduate of Melbourne University who won the Masson Memorial Prize as Australia's top Chemistry student. After eight years as a research scientist, Kerry then completed, with distinction, the four-year Diploma in Phytotherapy from the world renowned School of Phytotherapy in England.
Upon returning to Australia to practice as an herbalist, he became frustrated with the poor quality of herbal extracts available at that time and the resulting effects for his patients. By applying his scientific training he developed a unique method of extraction, termed 1:2 Cold Percolation. Word of these high quality herbal products spread and requests were soon received from health care professionals for supply around Australia and so MediHerb was born.
