Transparemol is making medicine content transparent by creating clear-as-ice medicines that show a direct relationship with your environment. It is a holistic medicine that seeks general well-being, using plants growing in your environment. You can take the Transparamol at any moment that you feel like it, it is not a quick-fix. Well-being is as much about the process as it is about the effect, you can use Transparamol collectively and take care of each other. Transparamol forces you to take a moment to cool down. Besides the nurturing effect of the plants, the ice serves as a component of time: as the ice melts you are invited to become part of the transformation and cool down.
Conventional Western medicine are often focused on a quick-fix, instead of general well-being. We easily trust taking a pill out of a strip without wondering what the content of it might be. Medicine and nature have become increasingly detached from each other. A medicine is easily bought and mostly produced in labs, leading to the healing in which the origin of its ingredients as a wider account of your personal well-being is not taken into consideration.
We demonstrate that a medicine can be something growing close to you and that you have a relationship with it. Which is why we use this transparent form, enabling a relationship between medicine and your environment.
Transparamol is made of edible herbs and flowers with medicinal properties. These are distilled into a Hidrosol, of which the liquid is afterwards poured into a mold. The mold is filled with both the Hidrosol and a sample of the herbs and flowers of which this liquid consists. After freezing them, this leads to ice-cubes in which all ingredients are clearly visible.
You take Transparamol alone or in company by pouring it into your drink. As the ice slowly dissolves, you’re invited to cool-down and take a moment to appreciate the ongoing healing.
For more information on the ingredients, you just flip out the transparent prescription: rather than reading a long and often unclear instruction from the traditional packaging, it consists of nothing more than a sample of its ingredients.
