Our herbs are grown on land that is uncontaminated by chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides. Check out the Pesticides and Aggression article. Irrigation is done with pure mountain water and an advanced mix of enzymes, trace minerals, and organic biosolids are used to build and maintain the soil. Plants that are lacking in certain nutrients yield oils low in therapeutic value.
Harvesting is done at the most appropriate times for each oil grown on our farms.
For example, German Chamomile must be harvested in the late afternoon to maximize certain beneficial consituents. No solvents or synthetic chemicals of any kind are used in or added. The cookers are made of costly stainless steel alloys to minimize the possibility of the essential oils being chemically altered by more reactive metals, such as aluminum, steel or copper. Essential oils have many chemical components. Some of these components contribute to the therapeutic value of the oil.
