Giorgini Dr Martino
After studying chemistry and graduating in Biology from the University of Bologna, Dr Giorgini begins studying phytotherapy. Living in the countryside, he starts to collect herbs. Later, in 1977, he opens in Cervia (Italy) his first herbalist's shop and calls it Medicatrix Vis Naturae (The healing power of nature). At that time, herbalist's shops used to sell only bulk herbs to consumers, to prepare homemade herbal teas. At this point, Dr Giorgini feels the need to make the use of medicinal plants more practical and efficient by resuming the use of extracts. These, however, are no longer available on the market as, during the post-war, they get disused in pharmacies. Therefore, he begins, with great passion, to study their methods of preparation: as a result, the first liquids and tablets ready for use are created. After seven years of hard work in his herbalist's shop, Dr Giorgini moves to Marradi, a village nestled in the Tuscan-Emilian hills, to devote himself to research and industrial production. He invents processing methods, designs new extraction machinery as well as vacuum systems to achieve the highest quality and safety standards. He creates more than 1000 products, dew collectors, a method for purifying the alcohol contained in marketed beverages, writes poems, songs and holds forty conferences...
His studies make him trace back the scientific route. From the chemically synthesized active principles (without the use of plants) in the 20th century, to the separation of active principles from plant extracts in the 19th century; from extracts in the 18th century to the separation of the five principles in the 17th century, up to the universal spirit of the 16th century. Along these lines, Dr Giorgini finds out that moving from alchemy to chemistry has not been a slow evolution (as told by all the books on the history of chemistry), but a sudden change occurred in the mid 17th century at the University of Paris: the new theory overlooks the universal spirit, while recognizing it, stating that things are made up of what falls under the senses, and that the theory of nature must be accessible to everyone. From this moment on, several scientist attempts follow one another to relaunch the vitalist theory of the Ancients, but the Goddess of Reason, has again the upper hand. Dr Giorgini wonders whether the price of technicality is to have forgotten that it is matter that comes from light and not vice versa. Therefore, he sets up a research laboratory with the aim of demonstrating the existence and function of the energy of life and its implications and practical applications for the health and wellness of his many and affectionate appraisers.
