Boericke & Tafel donates homeopathic medicines to aid Philippines

AmeriCares, the international disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization, announced today that Boericke & Tafel has donated homeopathic medicines to aid AmeriCares' ongoing relief efforts in the Philippines.

AmeriCares has been providing assistance to the Philippine Association of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (PSMOM) since 1985 to support rural and urban hospitals, primary health clinics, specialty clinics and grass roots educational and social programs. These programs, which depend on AmeriCares product donations to operate, benefit nearly 1.5 million patients in forty provinces each year living below the poverty line.

Boericke & Tafel's donation of homeopathic medicines will help continue the initiatives that AmeriCares and the PSMOM have sponsored, including relief for such ailments as bronchitis and hay fever.

"The healthcare advancements that AmeriCares is making in the Philippines would just be a pipe dream without the kindness of companies like Boericke & Tafel," stated Robert C. Macauley, Founder and Chairman of AmeriCares.

Homeopathic medicines are ideal both for disaster response and long-term healthcare initiatives in developing nations. Natural products such as these can be distributed broadly without risk of side effects and last indefinitely if stored properly.

Boericke & Tafel is one of the world's most trusted sources of natural medicines and a leader in developing new homeopathic products, as well as maintaining the highest standards of quality control.
