The Salus story

Salus Haus is German company founded in 1916 by Dr. Med. Greither.

Dr. Med. Greither studied medicine, dentistry and neurology and had a successful career as a surgeon at Munich Hospital. Motivated to find a cure for his own illness, Dr. Greither travelled extensively studying the nature of nutrition in countries all over the world. It was Greither himself who, thanks to his wide medical training, followed by years of professional experience and scientific curiosity, thoroughly researched his own illness and cured himself. That was the birth of the Salus cure, which was the basis for the founding of the Salus company.

A family-run business

From humble beginnings the company has gone from strength to strength and employs over 400 people at their headquarters in Bruckmühl.

Salus Haus recently celebrated their 100 year anniversary and they look to the future with optimism as sales of their products continue to grow and they distribute their products to over 65 countries around the world.

To this day, Salus Haus is still a family business and is run by the founders' son, also named Otto Greither, alongside his fellow director, Dr Florian Block.

At one with nature

The Salus concept of healthy living has always had at its heart, the notion that a high regard for nature and the welfare of man go hand-in-hand. The highest standards of quality, social responsibility in plant cultivation and production assure that Salus health food products help people as well as protect nature and the environment.

In the early 1990's Mr Greither purchased herb farms in Chile. Southern Chile's unspoilt environment at the foot of the Villarrico Volcano offers ideal conditions for the cultivation of organic raw materials: crystal clear glacial water is available for irrigation, the soil had not been chemically treated, the air is, thanks to the remote position, largely free of pollution. The cultivation not only supplies Salus with raw ingredients, it also creates jobs for local people and serves biodiversity so that the wide varieties of plant species and maintained for future generations.
