who is framar health?
We are located in Belfast, Northern Ireland and are an independent Health Food retailer and member of the National Association of Health Stores.
framar history
Framar Health came on to the health scene in 1981 and since then has become a "mecca of natural care" to an increasing number of people who are interested in the complementary/alternative approach to health. Framar Health was originally founded on a partnership between Margaret Maconaghie and her son Paul. As a family the Maconaghies have been familiar for years with the use of Herbal and Homoeopathic medicines in their home in Belfast and also in Nigeria where they lived for fourteen years.
So in the early eighties with the rapidly growing public interest in the use of complementary medicines, when premises became available, they opened their first shop and clinic rooms in 1981. The partnership between Margaret and Paul continued until 1986 when David, Paul's twin brother returned from South Africa and became Paul's partner in opening a second shop and clinic rooms at 391 Ormeau Road, Belfast. Margaret then took over the administration of the company having obtained the Diploma of Health Food Retailing and been awarded a Fellowship of the Institute.

Our shops are now fully equipped to meet the demands of the new technological age, now reaching out through the World-Wide Web to a global audience. They are well stocked with herbal, homoeopathic and nutritional medicines as well as a range of natural foods.
Framar prides itself on the extensive range of specialist foods especially the Gluten-free range which has become increasingly popular over the past few years.
The "Healthnotes Information" database enables customers to have information about these specialist diets and how to incorporate them into a day to day routine. Staff are on hand to assist with all enquiries of this nature.
