Hylands was founded in 1903 in western United States at a time when homeopathic medicine was the standard treating all ailments. As time progressed, homeopathic medicine was pushed from the standard of treatment by political changes and changes in our culture. During this time of change, Hylands has always remained focused on meeting the needs of people who wanted a natural way to treat the ailments that afflict them. Homeopathic medicine works by activating the natural healing ability of the human body. Because homeopathic medicines have no side affects, they are safe for anyone of any age to take. With the recent cost of health care spiraling out of control, there is a new movement in this country to return to a low cost and low side affect treatments for the health issues of today.*
