Historical Uses
FAQ

Where do your herbs come from?
All herbal products are directly imported from India.

Are your herbs irradiated when they come into the U.S.?
No. Contrary to popular belief, all herbs from India are NOT irradiated, including ours. Because of our high quality packing techniques and cleaning procedures, there is no need for the authorities to irradiate our herbs.

Are your herbs organic?
Most are organically grown. Since India does not have such an organic certification system, they can not certify them as organic however most of our herbs are wild crafted and are not sprayed with any pesticides or insecticides.

What quality control do you perform to insure your herbs are safe?
Before each batch of herbs or herbal products is shipped from India, the product must go through a rigorous safety test before it is exported to the U.S. Among the tests performed are: heavy metal count, bacteria count, e-coli test, salmonella test, mildew and mold count, insect residue test, moisture levels, and others.

Some herbs have different but similar spellings. Why?
Depending on the region of India you are from, there are sometimes slight differences and variations in spellings of some herbs. Also, sometimes for convenience sake and ease of pronunciation, the difficult letters are replaced with
ones that are easier to pronounce. That is why, as a second method of verifying, we will sometimes ask the Latin or botanical name of the herb to make sure you are indeed ordering the correct product.

Your formulas are in EXTRACTS. Why?
Extracts are essentially the core active ingredients of any herb. It is the part of the herb or plant that is doing all the work. Extracts simply harness that ingredient and capsulate it and the end result is a higher potency capsule while not having to take so many capsules. You are guaranteed to see results in weeks, not months (the way you would if taking a raw powdered herb).

The color of my herb changed slightly from my last order. Why?
This is normal. Depending on the time of year, the farmers that we collected from, the potency of the crop, the grinding technique used, and the cleaning process used….these would all affect the slight change in color or even flavor of the herb. This is completely normal and is expected when dealing with raw, natural plants and herbs.
