We have opened The Naturopathic Centre in memory of Dr Michael Levien. This truly remarkable man dedicated his life’s work to the health and wellness of all living creatures. Dr Levien went to India to study Homoeopathy and there, in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains is where his dream was born. In order to fulfill this dream, he enrolled with Lindlahr College to formally study Homoeopathy, Osteopathy and Naturopathy. He succeeded in completing the course rapidly and with relative ease, where others struggled. Dr. Levien continued to follow his life’s calling by starting a practice in 1960 and earned a reputation for being a responsible and knowledgeable practitioner. He was well respected by his colleagues, who regularly consulted him for his insight in order to solve difficult cases. This naturally led to discussions about where medicines may be potentially sourced from. Dr. Levien recognised that he was able to extend his vision for healing by serving this need for the manufacturing and distributing of good quality medicines.
Since 1966, Natura Laboratory has been manufacturing and distributing homoeopathic and phytotherapeutic medicines in South Africa. From its humble conception, Natura has continually striven to serve the unique needs of health care practitioners and the public alike by dedicating itself to supplying innovative products which are built with integrity.
Together with his demanding task as owner and manager of the company, Dr Levien continued to see patients in his practice . In more recent years he became less involved in the day to day managing of the Natura laboratory, but he still continued in his practice untill 5 weeks before he passed away. Over a period of 53 years he never lost his dedication and passion to make a difference in the world of healing. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. His passing on at the age of 92 years leaves a great void, but the seeds of kindness and hope that he planted will grow and his vision of a Health Care Centre to take his life’s work into the future is quickly becoming a reality.
