No matter how deep our knowledge goes, how advanced we consider ourselves to be, nature is always one (or several) steps ahead. Our ancestors recognized and respected this undeniable truth, but unfortunately modern day society has forgotten this.
Floravii sets out to help us rediscover the health benefits of the plants that surround us so that we can begin to trust nature a little more :)
