The Story of Nestmann Pharma

estmann Pharma is a long established German manufacturer of Ntraditional complex homeopathic and herbal remedies. The manufactur- ing facilities and head office of Nestmann Pharma are located in a small town near Bamberg, in the state of Bavaria. Bamberg is surrounded by Germany’s largest biodynamic farming area producing medicinal plants. This family-run company has gained a reputation throughout Europe and abroad for their superior quality, with particular focus on drainage remedies.

Nestmann Pharma manufactures both herbal and homeopathic remedies that range from a single ingredient to complex formulas. Many of Nestmann Pharma’s formulas are herbal drainage remedies and homeopathic drainage remedies.

Over the past 50 years, combined experience of three generations of pharmacists and naturopaths has lead to the development of the Nestmann formulas that are available today. This development has a long history, starting with Mr. Nestmann’s great grandfather and The excellent results that doctors in Germany and other grandfather as ‘old healing practitioners’ at the Klauder countries have achieved with Nestmann formulas are Clinic in Germany.
