Welcome to the Website of Ariti Herbal

Ariti Herbal is a small private business, established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1999, with license to produce, distribute and export a wide range of herbal products, including herbal teas, room freshener, mouth wash, massage oils etc. We are also creators of several pure fragrant essential oils and blends for use in aromatherapy, skin care, inhalation, bath, sauna, etc and for care of domestic animals and pets. Scented candles and the ceramic aroma evaporators and inhalers that we produce are important tools for aromatherapy. Our main export items include distilled oils, extracts and hydrosols from unique gums and resins such as frankincense, myrrh and opopanax.

The above and other products are available in three Ariti Shops in Addis Ababa located on Mickey Leland Rd, Addis Hilton, Arat Kilo and the Black Lion Hospital. Orders are also welcome from anywhere in the world as we are ready to deliver ordered products by courier or cargo.

We cultivate and also grow seedlings of aromatic herbs and other medicinal plants in our gardens in Addis Ababa, Sebeta and Wendo Genet. Visit to these gardens can be arranged to interested individuals and groups.

Ariti Herbal is created by two persons: Emeritus Professor Ermias Dagne, who is also Director of ALNAP (African Laboratory of Natural Products) and his wife chemist Tadelech Tadesse.

The main aim of the Ariti Herbal Website is to inform our clients and the general public on the use of herbs and their products for health and beauty. We also wish to develop this website as a database and repository of information in the broad area of natural products.
