It all began in the 1920s when Parson Hurst was committed to help poor people suffering from health problems. At that time, the cleric entrusted with the small parish of Häg located in the southern portion of the Black Forest not only dealt with the spiritual but also the physical complaints of his parishioners. Then, many people living in the remote regions of the Black Forest made their living as home-based workers for the emerging textile industry. Cramped in poorly-ventilated rooms, the workers breathed in the unhealthy dust of the cotton wool they processed, often leading to respiratory diseases.
Being a god-fearing man and having an in-depth knowledge of herbs, Parson Hurst wanted to ease the suffering of these workers. In a herbal medicine book by his famous colleague Sebastian Kneipp, one of the founders of the naturopathic medicine movement, he found a medicinal plant formula. He started optimising the recipe by adding special medicinal herbs which were endemic in the Black Forest area and well-known for their agreeable effects on the respiratory system, such as light green fir branch tips and various other forest and meadow herbs.
In collaboration with his friend Dr. Eduard Hiepe, a pharmacist operating a pharmacy in the nearby city of Zell and offering him to tap his pharmaceutical knowledge, he produced a fully natural cold & flu medicine based on rock candy and pure pine-tree honey and named "Tannenblut" ('fir blood') up to this very day in his presbytery in the mid-1920s. Soon, the new medicine eased the complaints of his parishioners who spread its curative properties more and more.

That event gave birth to the first banner product of the modern HÜBNER company, as ANTON HÜBNER, then merchant, bought the licence to produce "Tannenblut" in 1936 and, together with his wife Klara, continued to manufacture the medicinal product after Parson Hurst's death. In parallel, the production site was transferred from its original location in Häg on the outskirts of the Black Forest to Kirchhofen, the native town of Klara HÜBNER.

For about 25 years, "Tannenblut" remained the only product sold by ANTON HÜBNER. In 1952, the neuform chain of health food stores classified it as a product of certified quality. Ever since, "Tannenblut" has been available in some 2,000 health food shops all over Germany - and more and more often all over Europe. In 1968, Wilhelm Oberle acquired the company to expand it until his retirement in 1995.

Original silicea Gel supplies the body with silica in a form that is absorbed especially well by the human organism. For while siliceous earth contains larger silicon molecule complexes, the silicic acid molecules (silicic acid: a compound of silicon, oxygen, and water) in the silicea gel are suspended in micro-dispersed (colloidal) form. The small particle size allows the silicic acid molecules in the gel to easily penetrate the intestinal wall, move via the blood stream to the connective tissue and unfold their well-known positive effect on skin, hair, and nails.

Original silicea Gel and Original silicea Capsules are ideal complements: The silica contained in silicea Capsules is also present in colloidal form and thus readily absorbable, though not quite as efficiently as in the gel. This is why Original silicea Gel, which does not contain preservatives and should therefore be stored in the refrigerator, is your best choice for use at home. The capsules, however, are the ideal dietary supplement for 'hot days' when you are travelling.
