Olbas, The Marvelous Swiss
Oil
 Switzerland
has many natural resources, among them the rich variety
of flora that grows in the lush valleys, by the crystal
clear lakes and in the pristine mountains. Given such
an abundance of medicinal plants, it is not surprising
that Swiss herbalists and botanists are renowned throughout
the world for their skill in using natural herbal
oils and essences to promote healing. Olbas is a remedy
that has been carefully developed from this wealth
of experience and knowledge.
It was here in Switzerland,
over 100 years ago, that these herbalists and botanists
developed a blend of pure essentials oils that came
to be known as Olbas Oil.
 The
name OLBAS is an acronym for Oleum Basileum, "Oil
from Basle". Basle is nestled on the
border of Switzerland, Germany and France in the very
heart of Europe, and to this day is a center of pharmaceutical
research in Switzerland.
Over the years, Olbas has
found its way into the far reaches of the earth. From
England to Australia, from South Africa to Sweden,
Olbas has truly become an internationally favorite
remedy.
In the United States, Olbas
has been available for over 60 years. Initially, it
was imported into the USA by Mrs. Heidi Ritter, a
kindly woman of German decent, who lived in Oak Creek,
Wisconsin. She provided Olbas Remedies to many in
the midwest and throughout the United States.
In 1975, Mrs. Ritter turned
over the importing of Olbas to Penn Herb Company Ltd.
in Philadelphia, PA. Since that time, Penn
Herb Company Ltd. has greatly expanded the distribution
of Olbas Remedies in the United States, making it
available in fine health food stores, selected drugstores,
and through their mail order catalog, website
and retail store. The line of remedies has also been
extended to expand on the many and various uses of
Olbas.
