Advice on Buying Herbs by, Michael Volchok It is always a good thing to try to buy your herbs from someone you know and trust. It's important to get the highest grade medicinal strength herbs you can find to assure optimum results. Ask questions at your health food store: Do they know anything about the company? How and where do they get their herbs? Who does the formulation? Are they well respected within the herbal community? A little research pays off because herb quality makes a huge difference in results!! A lot of products that have gotten into the marketplace over the last several years are of dubious origin. We strive to provide the highest quality possible. We are not the only company offering the best, but the best is hard to find. We sometimes forget to toot our own horn but when it comes to high grade herbs: Toot! Toot! Glad you found us!!
