About Us

We at Rocky Mountain Botanicals firmly believe that life is a sacred gift and that a healthy life is a happy life. Our purpose is to offer you alternative, all-natural products for caring for your body. Health is not a luxury. It is a necessity. Many of us are becoming increasingly aware of the damaging effects of ingesting and absorbing harmful toxins; from the preservatives in our food and pollutants in our environment, to the harsh chemicals found in our every day skin care products. Today, more than ever there is an alluring pull to “return to the natural”, to a healthier, more peaceful way of life.

OUR ROOTS

Founded and created by Marcine Ko in 2004, Rocky Mountain Botanicals is the result of many family generations of natural healers and the love and compassion they had for all living things; animals, people and plants alike. With a deep respect for nature’s miraculous medicinal offerings, Marcine researched and formulated tirelessly for years, with abundant joy and enthusiasm. Herbs and plants were gathered from her gardens and during daily walks in the valleys and mountains of the Shuswap. She then began selling her creations at the local Farmers Markets and Health Shows. Word spread quickly about the quality and effectiveness of her home remedies and thus Rocky Mountain Botanicals began. She touched the lives and hearts of many and was dedicated to helping others through her natural healing remedies. Her aim was not only to continue the legacy of her family but truly make a difference in this world for those sick and in pain. She often said “Our only purpose for being here is to help others. Only then will we find true happiness”. Inspired by her memory, her passion for healthy living and alternative medicine we hope to continue her legacy.

THE MSM DIFFERENCE

What sets us apart from other all-natural body care lines found on the market today, is the use of MSM in many of our products. Methylsulfonylmethane is a naturally occurring sulfur found in the tissues off all plants and animals. MSM is stored in almost every cell of the body and its job is to allow the cells to become more permeable allowing nutrients to flow in and toxins to flow out. It literally combines with toxins in the body allowing them to be passed through the system. It also acts as a carrier for healing ingredients found in our products such as vitamins, minerals and therapeutic essential oils.

After decades of clinical studies, MSM has proven to increase elasticity and mobility in muscles, tendons and ligaments, while reducing swelling that causes pain. The beauty benefits include increasing skin elasticity – resulting in the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines for younger, healthier looking skin. MSM is completely safe and rated as one of the least toxic substances in biology. With all the advantages to MSM it is easy to see why we have used it as the foundation for many of our products.
