Description: Of German origin, Bayer opened its first pharmaceuticals department in 1888, 25 years after it was founded. Thirty percent of the Bayer Group's sales come from its healthcare subsidiary, with leading products in the anticoagulant (Xarelto) and anticancer (Stivarga, Xofigo) markets

Bayer has been expanding its presence in the herbal medicine market since the early 2010s, thanks to the acquisition of Steigerwald in 2013. Steigerwald specializes in analgesic, anti-inflammatory and digestive products such as Iberogast. Created in the late 1950s, Iberogast, composed of 9 essential plants, was distributed in 30 countries in 2013, enabling Bayer to invest significantly in the herbal medicine market

The Consumer Health division generated sales of 159.4 million euros in 2019, or 12.1% of total sales. This division covers vitamins and minerals, dermatological care and treatment, gastroenterology, phytotherapy, analgesia and women's intimate health

Bayer's range of herbal medicines focuses on two main products: Euphytosis night and day
