Out of Stock

If we are temporarily out of stock on a product you may re-order that product on your next order. There will be no backorders.

Botanical Characteristics

Our website lists botanicals in our products by both their common name and their Latin binomial as found in the American Herbal Products Association’s Herbs of Commerce publication. Note that depending upon availability we may occasionally substitute another species. We will only use species with similar activity or make other changes if approved by our herbalist, David Winston RH(AHG). If such a species is not available, we will not make the product until an approved species becomes available. Our website also lists our most frequent fresh or dried botanical selection. Note that due to seasonal availability we may substitute fresh for dried or dried for fresh botanicals, if approved by David Winston RH(AHG). Plant part descriptions may change slightly depending on whether we are using fresh or dried plant material. All of our labels reflect specific lot characteristics.

Botanical (Latin) Names

Please be aware that Latin names change. Older reference books often have out of date names and more current reference materials may or may not have the current species name. We generally use current Latin names, unless an older name is so well known that it would be confusing to list the newer name. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Prices

Although we strive to maintain constant prices, they are subject to change without notice.
