NATURAL PRODUCT
Selection and research
In this section you will find my great passion stemming from Ethnobotany, aromatic raw materials, resins, essential oils, incense, spices, tea.
A selection and research that has lasted for over 20 years around the world, where over time it has become a real full-time job.

NEW ARRIVALS
I am Jarguna, real name Marco Billi. A traveler since the early 90s and a martial arts practitioner since ’81, I have developed my own personal path over the decades.
Through the populations I have come into contact with and what they have transmitted to me, I have developed knowledge of healing traditions, through ceremonies, songs, but above all I have focused on plants, making ethnobotany a main passion of my life. Obviously, along with all this there is music, I have been composing and exploring Ambient since the mid-90s, they are two paths that run parallel but always in communication with each other, since they too are part of the Nature-Culture context, developed through my interpretation.
My site does not want to be just a shop but a place where you can find, I hope, good information and inspiration for your own research and creations. It must not have an “automated” structure, in fact you will not be able to purchase in real time without my approval, this helps me to have more control over my products and establish a more human relationship between those interested in purchasing.
Some of the materials, which I also discovered, are very difficult to find, my job is to respect the populations that host me and give me their knowledge. I believe that they are a world heritage, but not to be exploited in a reckless way, as is happening in this period, such as “spiritual tourism”, and I also expose myself to saying, since I have worked for many years in the supply, even the world of herbal medicine is compromised by unscrupulous business.
So I ask you to be as patient as possible for my slowness in processing orders, I am slow but not stingy, in your order I always give something away!

A roundup of field experiences made in 2013 and 14. Meeting with a pygmy population that has now been settled for several decades, they give me a resin with an intense aroma, called Camonia or Kamonya (Canarium schweinfurthii). Ethnobotanical investigations.
MUSIC
Exploration of Nature and Culture
The music I compose moves in parallel with the exploration of Nature and Culture, especially of the peoples who live in close contact with the natural environment that surrounds them. Fascinated by rituals, ceremonies, mystical cults and everything that involves the exploration of the psyche, transforming all this into an introspective journey through sound.
