Product Information
Where do you source your herbs from?
Our herbs are sourced from all over the world, and we purchase items from multiple different farmers to ensure that we are getting the best quality possible. This means that the country of origin for each herb may change occasionally. Please read the individual item descriptions for the most current country of origin information.
How big is a 50g bag of herbs?
The volume of each herb depends on its density. Like people, each plant is unique, although we can give you some general guidelines to help you decide how much to order. Roots, barks, seeds, and powders are usually quite dense, and 50g would be approximately 8-10 teaspoons. Leaves and flowers tend to be fluffier, and 50g will usually be about 30-40 teaspoons.
What is the difference between organic and wildcrafted?
Most of the herbs that we carry are organic. This means that they have been certified organic by the USDA, and have been grown without the use of pesticides.
Wildcrafted means that the herbs have been ethically and sustainably collected from their habitat in nature, although they are not certified as organic. Wildcrafted herbs are considered a ‘clean’ source of medicine, similar to organic, as they are grown in the wild, away from pollution and pesticide use.
Occasionally, you will see one of our products listed as being grown without chemicals. This means that it is grown without the use of pesticides, although it is not certified as USDA organic. Many small farms are not certified as organic, despite growing their herbs using organic methods. This is because organic certification can be incredibly expensive for a small operation, and it is often more efficient for them to simply sell their items as being ‘grown without chemicals’.
