Alfred Vogel (1902 - 1996): Pioneer in Natural Health
Alfred Vogel grew up in Aesch in Basel (Switzerland) and even in early childhood became familiar with medicinal plants and their mode of action through his father and his grandparents. Phytotherapy and the desire to help his fellow men became his life’s work, which he pursued passionately into old age.
Phytotherapist, Nutritional Adviser and Commentator
- Alfred Vogel managed a herb and health store in Basel at the age of 21.
- Almost immediately he began to advise his customers on the power of Nature as well as on healthy nutrition and lifestyle through lectures and his own publications.
- He began to prepare remedies himself and to sell them to his customers.
- Even then Alfred Vogel was convinced that a life in harmony with Nature means eating as naturally and as healthily as possible.
- In the 1930s he relocated from Basel to Teufen in Appenzell.
- Here he further developed his skills as a herb gatherer and improved the remedies he made for himself.
- In Teufen he made the crucial discovery that the mode of action of fresh plants was fundamentally better than that of dried ones.
- From then on Alfred Vogel manufactured his herbal remedies from freshly harvested plants whenever possible.
- In 1963, at an age when others think of retirement, he founded Bioforce AG in Switzerland.
- Today Bioforce AG is one of the most prominent manufacturers of herbal remedies in many European countries, Canada, USA and Australia.
