MediHerb was founded in 1986 by Kerry Bone, a first class honours graduate in Chemistry from Melbourne University, with a post graduate qualification in Phytotherapy from England.
MediHerb was born out of Kerry's desire to produce efficacious herbal medicines and this has remained the driving force behind every aspect of the company from herb sourcing, manufacturing, quality assurance and research.
MediHerb processes approximately 250 different species of medicinal herbs into either liquid extracts or tablet formulations, which are sold only to health care practitioners, such as herbalists, naturopaths, pharmacists, chiropractors GP's and medical specialists.
MediHerb was successful in 2001 in obtaining funding under the ARC-Linkage scheme to investigate the active constituents of a range of anthelmintic herbs in collaboration with the University of Queensland.

Herbal medicine and natural pharmaceuticals are moving from fringe to mainstream, with greater numbers of people seeking remedies and health approaches free of the sideeffects caused by synthesised chemicals.

Botanical raw materials are comprised of dried plant materials in the form of roots, barks, herbs, flowers, fruits, seeds, and resins.
The various geographical and climatic regions in Australia will offer the growing conditions required by most medicinal plant species in demand, although almost everywhere in Australia herb production will need irrigation.
