Our Story

A Legacy of Innovation in Natural Medicine

Our Journey

Our story begins in 1996 with visionary naturopath and homeopath Peter Ochsenham. Driven by a passion for holistic healing and mind-body medicine, Peter founded Medicine Tree Therapeutics, laying the groundwork for a revolution in natural healthcare.

  1. Humble Beginnings

    Peter establishes Medicine Tree Therapeutics, rooted in the transformative power of holistic healthcare.

  2. Growth

    Recognising the growing demand for evidence-based natural medicine, Peter forges strategic partnerships with respected brands like Heel (2008), Basica (2012), and Diasporal (2014). These collaborations expand Medicine Tree's offerings to include scientifically-backed formulations supporting integrative healthcare.

  3. Birth of BioPractica

    Building on Medicine Tree's success and the wealth of experience gained, Peter launches BioPractica. This new brand is dedicated to providing premium nutraceutical solutions for practitioners, drawing upon all levels of available evidence - traditional use, clinical experience, and robust scientific research.

  4. Empowering Practitioners

    BioPractica stands as a testament to Peters’ vision, blending the wisdom of the past with cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs. As an Australian-owned brand founded and run by naturopaths, we remain committed to empowering healthcare practitioners with innovative, clinically effective solutions in complementary medicine.
