Swiss Federation of Phytotherapy — founded in 2006.
FPTH
Welcome to FPTH
The “Swiss Federation for Phytotherapy” sets itself the task of building solid bridges between alternative, complementary, integrative, holistic and orthodox medicine, as well as bridges between empiricism, teaching, science and research, the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturers and producers of herbal medicines and, last but not least, politics and legislation. The FPTH sees itself as a link between various and/or differently interested people, organizations, committees, companies and legislators who are committed to the dissemination of phytotherapy, the protection of flora, fauna and medicinal plants, teaching, science, research and the sustainability of medicinal diversity.

Our Mission
What we stand for
Bridges between medicines
We build solid bridges between alternative, complementary, integrative, holistic and orthodox medicine — and between empiricism, teaching, science and research.
Science & research
We know that a good 80% of all medicinal plants remain unexplored. Supporting and promoting research is as essential as a serious, humane and animal-friendly medicine.
Protection of medicinal plants
We are committed to the protection of flora, fauna and medicinal plants, and to preserving the traditional diversity of remedies as one of our most valuable natural treasures.
Community & solidarity
In the spirit of a federation we connect people, organizations and institutions; our Solidarity Fund LeD offers uncomplicated, interest-free help to members in need.
Membership
The FPTH connects different professional groups in the sense of a federation. We look forward to your membership.
