We take the time to educate ourselves on herbs & botanicals. It is important to know exactly what we are buying & where we are buying it from. Anyone can buy "herbs or botanicals" from Amazon & sell them to you. But that doesn't mean those products are safe. Especially if the seller is uneducated on what kind of herbs are safe. Keeping your health & safety in mind, we source each & every herb or botanical we sell or use in products from reliable companies that often have their goods sourced directly from the farmers & growers themselves. This allows us to provide our customers with premium products they can trust.
