These colourful bowls are the very bowls recommended for use in the fabulous weight loss programme the Cretan Bowl Diet.

Each piece is hand-crafted and unique and painted by a gifted Cretan potter, who's family business was established in 1857.

WILD HERBS OF CRETE,
Located in Modi Kydonias and Kallikratis Sfakia

Since 1994 we, Babis Psaroudakis and Janina Sorensen, are collecting and distilling essential oils exclusively from wild growing aromatic plants, growing in remote Cretan areas with a minimum chance of pollution. All harvesting is carefully done by hand, ensuring the populations survival and growth year after year.

We distil each plant according to its specific requirements and maintain distillation until the plant material has given up all of its essential oil. By having control and hands on each step of the process, we offer you the true spirit of Cretan wild aromatic plant populations, raised by nature itself...
