Edwin Lipperts
Edwin G. Lipperts earned his Master's degree in Pharmacy from Utrecht University in 1992, specializing in bioanalysis within the Department of Analysis and Toxicology, in collaboration with TNO-Delft. After many years of experience as a pharmacist in conventional healthcare, he sought greater depth and variety in his work, and became fascinated by the world of natural medicines.
Since 2013 he has been the owner of De NatuurApotheek, a fully licensed pharmacy that relocated to Simpelveld in late 2023. Together with its affiliated companies EuroherbsPharmacy and Sanjiao, he leads the preparation and worldwide distribution of Western and Eastern herbal medicines, homeopathic remedies, and nutritional supplements. His pharmacy prepares these in virtually every conceivable pharmaceutical form — from raw and powdered herbs, dry extracts, and granules to tinctures, capsules, ointments, and suppositories — drawing on a controlled inventory of more than 3,000 natural raw materials and a network of some 3,000 physicians and therapists at home and abroad.
In 2015 he also completed his training as a Chinese herbalist at the OTCG in Antwerp. This dual background makes him uniquely qualified: few can explain the interactions between Chinese herbal medicines, conventional Western medication, and other complementary products as clearly as he does. In doing so, he bridges centuries-old and contemporary pharmaceutical knowledge — precisely where East and West meet in clinical practice.
