Ask the Herbalist / Question of the Week

Organically grown and ethically wild harvested herbs are used in the Sage Woman Herbs, Ltd. extracts and formulas to bring you the highest quality herbal preparations available. Sage Woman Herbs uses only a select group of herbal wild harvesters whose concerns for the environment and the quality of herbal products meet our high ethical standards and uncompromising quality control.

To ensure the high quality of our extracts, our herbal preparations are produced through several regional manufacturing facilities, which are both F.D.A. Registered and approved.

All Sage Woman Herbs' herbs are ethically and ecologically wildharvested, organically grown by independent farmers, or selectively imported under strict standards. They are custom picked at the peak of their season by skilled botanists and herbalists to assure premium quality. Much time and expense goes into sourcing and purchasing only the freshest and most vital raw materials. Our herbs are never fumigated or irradiated, even those from China.

Our fresh plant extracts are macerated within 12 to 48 hours from harvest while the dry plant extracts are ground minutes before extraction and are prepared through the laborious cold drip percolation method, all to exacting standards to maximize potency. Alcohol and water are used to extract the most difficult to digest biochemical compounds. Ratios of herb to menstrum are calculated by the potency of the herb. Extractions are approved by the A.T.F. and use US pharmaceutical grade grain alcohol and deionized kinetically stored water. We never use industrial alcohol or hexane.
