About Me & Myrkino


Who I am

 

Let me start by introducing myself.

 

My name is Antonis Papageorgiou and I come from a small Greek town called Giannitsa.

 

As a little kid, I enjoyed spending my summer vacation helping my grandpa harvest his peach trees. It was then that I was taught the value of nature, a lesson that I still carry with me.

Several years later I joined the Pharmacy School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Chemistry, biology, pharmacology, pharmaceutical analysis and pharmacognosy are just some of the subjects that my colleagues and I were taught.

Synthetic drugs are very effective, but we don't always have to put that kind of strain on our bodies.

The therapeutic potential of nature is huge. The first medicines were natural remedies. They cannot substitute drugs but they can provide a safer alternative to deal with mild symptoms. 

This is why Myrkino was born. To preach the importance of a healthy lifestyle and educate about the medicinal value of nature.

What is Myrkino

 

The myrtle plant was said to be sacred to Aphrodite and for that reason, it symbolizes beauty, grace, and love. The peach, on the other hand, symbolizes life, longevity, and rejuvenation.

 

Myrkino is the combination of two greek words : μυρτιά (myrtle) and ροδάκινο (peach).

 

Myrkino symbolizes both life and beauty and my mission is to explore every aspect of health, both physical and mental and to learn how to handle the healing power of nature with respect to the modern science.
