HERBALIST SHOWS PRODUCTS FOR MEN AND WOMEN IN BANGKOK, 2000-06-27 (photo)

Thai-based American herballist Sandford Schwartz, the Chief Executive Officer of Smith Naturals Company, shows his breast firming cream for women (L) and "Hercules" anti-impotence gel and capsules for men, all made from natural ingredients extracted from roots, at his company's Bangkok headquarters June 27. A group of Thai, American and Singaporean medical scientists and businessmen are blending their expertise of extracting chemicals from plant roots such as those shown in the foreground, with a global network of herbal cosmetic managers to produce a range of natural products to keep men and women feeling younger and to help improve their love lives, at a fraction of the cost of existing products.
