Western Botanical Medicine
is run by practitioners of herbal medicine who know that healing
with herbs has to start with high quality efficacious herbal medicine.
Western Botanical Medicine offers the highest quality herbal products
available to herbal practitioners and the public alike at affordable
& dose realistic prices.
Western Botanical
Medicine sources certified organic herbs from their CCOF certified
organic herb farm, other certified organic herb growers and high
quality herb suppliers. Some of the herbs harvested from their
farm are made into fresh plant tinctures and are designated by
the code SP ( Specific) on the tincture lists. Only certified
organic, biodynamic or conscientiously wild crafted herb, certified
organic alcohol/ethanol & the finest filtered spring water
are used in the manufacture of the herbal extracts and tinctures.
Western Botanical
Medicine (WBM) offers the FINEST FULL-SPECTRUM CERTIFIED ORGANIC
TINCTURES IN THE USA, which shows a true dedication & committment
to supporting organic agriculture and organic handling and processing!
It is also WBM's aim to market these quality products below the
current prices typically charged, which only serves to limit the
use of mans oldest form of medicine.
Herbal medicine should
be affordable & available to all who would choose to use it.
PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE
Herbs are fully macerated
in an alcohol and water mixture in stainless steel barrels and
glass vessels for two weeks. They are then pressed in stainless
steel vessels, and the resultant liquid (tincture) is filtered
and bottled in glass. These tinctures are supplied in 4, 8, 16,
& 32oz amber glass medical round bottles and plastic is never
used as a storage medium for the tinctures.
If you can obtain
tinctures of this quality, in these quantities and at these prices
anywhere else in the continental USA, please let us know, and
we will aim to beat the price!
