Right time for harvest

The healing plants of the Schoenenberger range of products are harvested all around the year. It starts with mistletoe in spring and ends with tubers, as e.g. potatoes, black radish and celery in autumn. The right time for harvest is of great importance, i.e. the moment when the cell juice of the plant contains the most active ingredients. This point of time differs from plant to plant and only lasts a few days. The healing plants should be pressed at that very moment, and filled into bottles within a few hours, according to the Schoenenberger motto: "From the fields into the bottle."

Gentle production procedure

The early morning harvest is delivered from the fields of the surroundings. Then everything has to be fast: the fresh plants are cut as quickly as possible, and carefully stacked in single layers into the plant press. Then they are pressed with a pressure of up to 17 kg per cm².

Production without preservatives

Afterwards the valuable juice quickly passes a hermetic system of absolutely hygienic stainless steel tubes: in a centrifuge the plant juice is freed from sediments, short time heated and immediately filled into bottles without any addition of preservatives. In the originally closed bottles, the juice can be stored for years.

The plant juices also can be filled cold aseptically in big sterile containers (bags) with 10 to 200 litres. These bundles can be used for future further processing, e.g. in blended products without any loss of quality.

Control in the own laboratory

Before the juice bottles are labelled, packed and equipped with an insert leaflet, they come into a quarantine warehouse until all necessary controls, as e.g. the analysis of the active ingredient content and sterility are finalised. Only then, the "Schoenenberger naturally pure fresh plant juices" are delivered to health food shops, organic shops and pharmacies.

Back to the fields

The vegetable rests from production are composted and after another laboratory analysis brought out to the fields as biological fertilizer for the cultivation of new healing plants. Embedded in this natural circulation, the company Schoenenberger produces high quality natural medicinal products for 90 years.

Schoenenberger successfully joins tradition and awareness for nature in naturopathy with most modern production technologies for the sustainable production of high quality natural medicinal products within a holistic system. Since autumn 2007, production has been taking place in the new and modern premises. The production facilities, the facilities and laboratories for quality assurance and the logistics facilities have been built according to the current technical standards. However, the principle of production with the modern production sites is identical with the traditional procedure which guarantees the company's success for more than 90 years.

Before harvest, the healing plants which will be used for the pressed juices are permanently controlled. They are harvested when the optimal active ingredient content is achieved. The early morning harvest is delivered from the fields of the surroundings. Then everything has to be fast: the fresh plants are cut as quickly as possible, and carefully stacked in single layers into the plant press. Then they are pressed with a pressure of up to 17 kg per cm².
