RAINFOREST REMEDIES HERBAL TINCTURES
Rainforest Remedies are rooted in the ancient herbal and spiritual traditions of Maya medicine, carried forward through the lineage of Don Elijio Panti, a revered traditional healer of Belize, and the clinical work of Rosita Arvigo.
​
During a 13-year apprenticeship, Dr. Arvigo was entrusted with the healing knowledge of the rainforest—plants and formulations used for generations to support balance within the body, mind, and spirit. She later integrated this traditional wisdom with her understanding of human physiology to develop a collection of herbal tinctures that reflect both ancestral knowledge and modern application.​
These remedies are crafted from plants harvested in the rainforests of Belize, often referred to as the “Guardians of the Forest.” These resilient plants are among the first to return after environmental disruption, naturally rich in protective compounds that support the body’s ability to restore and maintain balance.
​
Rainforest Remedies are concentrated herbal extracts designed for ease of use and absorption, offering a supportive approach to everyday health and vitality. Each formulation is created with a specific purpose, drawing from decades of traditional use, clinical observation, and practitioner experience.
​
These formulas have been used by Arvigo practitioners worldwide for over 20 years, with some botanicals recognized and studied by leading institutions including New York Botanical Garden and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
