In 1979, in the midst of the Iranian Revolution, a family sat on a British Airways plane in Tehran anxiously awaiting escape. The mother was an American; the father was a Westernized Iranian on the Revolutionary Guard’s assassination list. Their daughter, Shiva Rose, was 10 years old.
Fifteen years later, when she had just given birth to her first daughter, Rose was diagnosed with a severe autoimmune disorder. Rose became convinced that the trauma of her family’s departure from Iran was partially responsible for the illness, and she began a journey of seeking holistic, natural remedies that would calm her body and her mind. The more she learned about holistic living, and the more she experienced the benefits of natural products for her own body, the more she wanted to share her knowledge with others.
