There are some herbs from warmer climates which are used in our formulas. Since we are unable to grow them ourselves, they are purchased from small farms using organic methods. For optimum potency, our herbs are kept in their original state, whole, and complete. We do not process our herbs, for encapsulation, until an order has been placed. Keeping herbs in their whole form, keeps them at peak potency.
Herbs begin to oxidize soon after they are ground.
This causes them to rapidly lose their potency. That is why we keep ours in their original form. The large companies grind and encapsulate their herbs and then store them in warehouses for months to years. All of our products have been previously used, and therefore, thoroughly tested by the happy, and considerably healthier, volunteers. This program is a combination of a lotion and a salve, for topical application.
