Feel the Dolomites
In the highest point of Val Pusteria, in the heart of the Dolomites, in a fortunate environment where the water is clear, the air is clean and the sun enhances the magnificence of nature, Farmacia Dobbiaco offers products that come from the Alpine tradition. The herbs that grow in this climate produce a high concentration of active ingredients that give greater strength and efficacy to the preparations, in order to surprise you and make you become even more attached to our territory.
ARNICA
I walk with my wife Wendela - creator and curator of the pharmacy herbarium - on the high meadows of Monte Rota here in Dobbiaco, and it is she who makes me notice the arnica in full bloom. This fascinating plant is of traditional use in the alpine world and its properties are certified in the Official Pharmacopoeia. Pharmacy Dobbiaco has chosen to use the dry extract of this flower, which is up to 300 times more effective than the tincture. This is why our products are stronger. That's why they call us the "Arnica Pharmacy".
SUPPLEMENTS
On my bike rides on mountain trails, along cool streams, my gaze sweeps over the herbs I know well and use in my supplements. When I am told that the mallow syrup for the bronchi works better than others, that with the feverfew the cervical is passed, I find confirmation both of my studies and of the traditional treatments of the Alpine populations, who have always used natural remedies.
COSMETICS
My mother Mariagrazia began, who passionately wanted to prepare effective treatments for the skin care of mountain people. Skin made drier and more sensitive by atmospheric agents and the sun. It was clear: the products had to have a high concentration of natural active ingredients, be hypoallergenic and possibly unscented. And so, thanks to ours experience and the use of organic extracts of edelweiss, imperatoria and mallow, we have created a cosmetic line of the highest quality.
MEDICAL COSMETICS
It is quite simple to take care of healthy skin. Much changes if the skin dries up, cracks, becomes sensitive to the point of being damaged. For some time we have created a line dedicated to problematic skin. It is characterized by hypoallergenic formulations, the absence of perfume and a high concentration of soothing and moisturizing active ingredients. Our aim is therefore to restore its intact and healthy appearance to the skin.
SUN PROTECTION
I walk on a path at high altitude and on a sunny ridge i can see an edelweiss. This beautiful flower has developed a sap tor protect itself from drying out and to safeguard itself from UV rays. Farmacia Dobbiaco adds the extract of this plant to its sunscreen to ensure better hydration and protection. Here is the secret of our dolomite sun protection.
AMARO DI DOBBIACO - BITTER
Only my father Gianangelo could formulate this recipe, invented during his walks in the Dolomites and his trips into the valley on cross-country skis. First graduated in chemistry, then in pharmacy and also an academic of Italian cuisine. This liqueur is the synthesis of a lifetime of study: refined preparation method that optimizes the extraction of the most active and aromatic resins, the best digestive herbs taken from the laboratory of our pharmacy and finally the excellent taste. Pour it over ice, after a while it changes slightly color: here's the right time to enjoy it. Prosit!
