How It All Started.
In 1857, Johann Baptist Fleischmann received the concession to operate a pharmacy in Prien (Chiemgau Germany). In 1961 the siblings Fritz Reuther and Hannelore Warkentin took over the Marien pharmaceutical tradition and started to develop natural remedies. Even today, their recipes are the basis for some of our most wanted products.
Thinking Traditions Anew.
Dr. Warkentin GmbH was founded by Hannelore's son and his Japanese wife Rie Nakajima. Their deepest wish was to enable Japanese mothers with young children to help themselves by shipping natural home remedies from Germany. For them, visiting a clinic for minor issues is difficult and the alternative with natural and safe self-care products makes every day life much easier. Nowadays, our portfolio comprises more than 100 products from Herbal tea to natural cosmetics. Every year and together with the encouragement of many supporters in Japan, we ship approx. 250,000 products from Bavaria to our loyal customers in Japan.
All our Actions rely on three core values
Natur Is Our Friend
Nature offers tremendous self-care potential by providing powerful and at the same time gentle healing plants. Those plants are the basis for our products. We have to give back to nature by making sustainability a priority.
Sharing Is Caring
By sharing information and offering support we encourage to give self-care a try. Our natural and safe products are predestinated for self-care.
Empowerment
The experience of the power of self-care is a form of empowerment for many of our customers. Empowering yourself offers the opportunity to empower others.
