Aether are creators and sellers of herb and mushroom products in South Africa. If you're looking to buy herbal remedies or mushroom's to assist with a variety of health conditions such as asthma, anti-cancer, hay-fever, immunity, liver and more then you're come to the right place.

Modern civilisation has made wondrous steps and advancements, there’s no doubt that we are exploring and innovating like never before. However there is one aspect of life which we have severely neglected; our connection to the Earth, to nature and ourselves. 

Not only has this resulted in the destruction of countless ecosystems but it has also left many of us feeling disconnected from the natural world. We at Aether seek to bridge this gap by allowing each individual the opportunity to incorporate herbal and mushroom medicines into their lives, to learn about these medicines and their environments, forage, and empower themselves to become their own healers. Connecting people more deeply to themselves and the natural world throughout everyday life.

We foresee a future in which natural medicines, and the ecosystems they come from, are revered and loved by all of humanity. Along with protecting the natural world, and creating truly sustainable manufacturing practices, we hope to facilitate the space in which the nutraceutical industry can make leaps and bounds towards creating truly groundbreaking medicines.

Through this transformation we can lay a foundation in which the natural world, working world, science and individuals are collectively empowering one another, creating a sustainable future in which all can thrive.

Sustainability is the bedrock of everything that we do. We have already implemented some amazing measures to improve our carbon footprint such as:

1. Clearing Aliens & Expanding the Indigenous: We also choose to grow our mushrooms on the remains of invasive tree species, such as wattle, whenever possible and continuously work towards expanding the borders of our indigenous forests by planting indigenous fruit-bearing trees.
2. Remaining 100% Vegan: We are extremely dedicated to ensuring that all of our products and processes are 100% vegan and don't use and/or contain any other substances which cause harm to our environment, or the creatures which call it home.
3. Sustainable Production & Packaging: We utilise sustainable energy sources to power our production facility wherever possible and ensure that we package and pack all of our products in sustainable packaging.

However, we don't want to just "survive" - we want to THRIVE. The world has passed the tipping point where aiming for ‘sustainable’ production is enough. We need to think REGENERATIVELY if we hope to remain living on this planet in any sort of harmony.

As custodians of this Earth have a responsibility, to rebuild and care for our home. This is how we are doing our part.
