With its herbal cleaners, insect repellants, pet products, and more, Bengaluru-based Herbal Strategi advocates a clean and natural life without the use of chemicals. The journey began when serial entrepreneur John Thomas was in search of a new adventure. That’s when he developed a serious respiratory infection, which the doctors suspected was caused by the carcinogens in chemical-based mosquito repellants.
John saw this as an opportunity and found that there were no healthier alternatives to chemical repellants. In 2011, he launched Herbal Strategi and has never looked back. Offering natural, herbal products in the segments of repellants, cleaners, petcare, and others, he has done what every human needs.
His first product JUSTSPRAY, a herbal mosquito repellant was launched after more than a year of rigorous filed research. The team started with 10 formulations and tested them on all 400 breeds of mosquitoes. This pursuit took them to Kerala, home to most breeds of mosquitoes. Over the years, they have partnered with Central Institute for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), a plant research laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for research and certification. Says John: “In Herbal Strategi, I have found my true calling. We believe that it is possible to ensure good health, a clean home, and a healthy pet without the use of harmful chemicals. We work with one objective – to bring to customers high quality herbal products that are free from chemicals. The driving force of Herbal Strategi is a highly motivated team of individuals, starting with me.”
Mosquito repellant is an essential item used in every Indian household, thanks to the ubiquitous mosquito and the ever-looming threat of dengue, malaria, chikangunya, and other mosquito-borne diseases. With rising awareness of the dangers posed by chemical-based repellants, there is a steady increase in demand for herbal and natural alternatives.
JUSTSPRAY is well established in South India and soon plans to expand to other regions. They have started their own franchisee stores across Bangalore and will soon do so in other cities as well. Their products are also available across the shores in the Middle East and Africa.
