Herbal Traditions

Human beings have relied upon the plant world since the beginning of human history.

Over thousands of years, humans have accumulated a vast body of knowledge and tradition around the use of plants for health, vitality and well-being. This knowledge, at first passed down orally from generation to generation, eventually became systematized and codified into the world’s great herbal traditions.

These traditions contain the collective accumulated wisdom of how to use plants: the right parts of the right plants for the right purpose. It is from these sources of wisdom that we have learned how to create the herbal blends we offer to you. Our herbalists adhere to the principles of herb selection and herb combining as practiced in these great systems—creating rational, time-tested blends that you can rely on.

We honor and preserve this knowledge of the herbalists before us, so that it may be retained for the herbalists and plant people who will come after us, and so that we all may benefit from its wisdom.
