Where do I source herbs #1

Where do you source your herbs?

In Asian medicine, we rely heavily on herbs, so making sure that a product has it’s necessary components is key. We are very particular about location, quality, and processing of herbs. We call this pao zhi and it differs from what Western suppliers often do with their herbs.

Mountain Rose herbs is one of the most conscientious providers of herbs in North America. I have long since used herbs from them and while they don’t always offer the herbs I need for medicine making, they DO have many of the herbs I need for ethical crafting and home use. I have used their herbs for making incense, soap, personal care products and for cooking. It’s good to see them supporting other companies too.
