Our aim is simple and that is to serve people in different aspects of both health and life, not only using Islamic and Greek Herbal Medicine but using alternative methods. Ibn Sina Herbal is not creating something new we are bringing back what already existed and enhancing it for future generations using its principles. Our uniqueness is that we exist for the people and there health and wellbeing. Together we need to diagnose and treat every illness. We are a non-profit based organisation in which all profits are used for research and development purposes.

Why the new Name or Change?

Many may ask why this new name or change? Due to the Herbal Medicine side of things growing successfully these past few years Sh.Hakeem Atabek decided to branch it off under its own banner "Ibn Sina Herbal". Named after one of the greatest Herbalists and philosophers of Greek and Islamic Medicine. Anything related to the Islamic scholarship, In this are many wisdoms which the respected Shaykh has decided on and this was the main reason for the change. Both these organisations will be running side by side, by the Avicenna and Ibn Sina's teams. Sh.Hakeem Atabek has many future plans and aspirations for Herbal Medicine, but for this he would like to reach out to all. This new branding will make this easier.
