Our Story
Haarlem Oil is a powerful ancient medicine drawn from a combination of sulphur with essential pine and linseed oils using a formula unexpectedly discovered about four centuries ago through Dutch alchemy in Haarlem, a city in Holland. The formula was found to be a highly effective solution for respiratory problems, weak nails and other ailments. Most prominently, it was recognized as a potent treatment for arthritis. Usage and popularity of the oil and its counter-arthritic properties soon spread across Europe.
By 1924, the formula gained even more attention after French pharmacist Monsieur Thomas obtained a license to produce and market the product in France. He later passed down the lucrative business to his son-in-law, Dr. J. Lefevre, founder of the Lefevre Family Laboratory. This laboratory still makes the remarkable elixir to this day. Interestingly, the formula with which the oil was created over 400 years ago is the very same constitution of the oil today.
Continuous studies conducted throughout the years on Haarlem Oil’s efficacy shed light on its bioavailability as well as purity. Bioavailability refers to how easily a nutrient or substance can make its way into your body after eating it.
Therefore, a bioavailable nutrient has a high rate of digestibility as well as assimilability into the body. Haarlem Oil is well known as an easily assimilable substance, so it is a reliable delivery system for sulphur, an element that is crucial to the body’s health.Presently occupying the top spot of the list of most useful natural sulphur treatments, Haarlem Oil continues to offer a ray of hope to patients of rheumatism.
