PRODUCT TESTING

We offer quality herbal products made with ingredients from qualified growers who test plant ingredients to be within the FDA's tolerable intake of more than 800 chemicals (many which are naturally occurring). The plant ingredients we buy are from growers that observe certified organic growing standards and Tilth standards. This means crop rotations to allow for mineral-rich soil for crops to grow in and no use of fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. There have been instances when some herbs are in short supply and wild-crafted is the only option. We may buy wild-crafted herbs from a trusted source. We prefer to use herbs that are indigenous to the United States or are grown and harvested in the United States however, in the event of herb shortages, it may be required to use well tested herbs from an International location that are properly tested.
