CERTIFIED ORGANIC CULTIVATION– is my first choice in sourcing ingredients, meaning grown without industrial pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers, clones, GMOs, chemical medications, hormones, growth-boosters.
ETHICALLY WILD-CRAFTED when Certified Organic is not possible, is my second choice, also, cultivated and harvested without peptides, herbicides, or harm to the environment, local community, or plant sustainability.
SINGLE, BOTANICALLY SPECIFIC PLANT– Each plant or plant part is identity tested to confirm it derives from one botanical species, extracted for therapeutic use and aroma profile. Specific plant parts including aerial parts, flowers, hand-picked flower petals, seeds, resins, beans, woods, and leaves.
UNADULTERATED – Pure, not mixed with any foreign or inferior substance or element, especially added chemical synthetics, fillers, natural isolates, synthetic compounds, high boiling glycols, alcohol, nature-identicals, or substitutions.
COLD or EXPELLER PRESSED extraction for carrier/base oils. without chemical solvents or CO2 extraction.
UNREFINED. Oils, carrier and base, that have not been subject to refinement or processing methods such as bleaching, deodorization, filtration, or neutralization. Unrefined oils deliver more of the vital nutrients of the plant material.
STEAM DISTILLATION. Best method for both Essential Oils and Hydrosols.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC OIL or WATER SOLUBLE PLANT EXTRACTS- Oil Soluble organic or wild-crafted plant material is extracted in organic Sunflower Oil, while my Water Soluble organic plant material is extracted in organic Rice Solution (Rice extract & water.)
WHITE & GREEN TEA LEAF – Sourced only by New Mexico Tea Company, my tea leaves are grown and harvested in China in the purest environments. White Silver Needle tea leaf and buds are the least processed, never steamed or pan-fired or oxidized and fired. The leaves are naturally withered and dried in the sun. The Mountain Green Tea plants are grown high in the Huan mountains. For two hundred days a year the plants are shrouded in mountain mist.
HERBAL POWDERS are organically grown or wild-harvested and purchased in small batches from the finest harvest. I do not offer you any plant powder grown by conventional methods.
BEAN AND RICE POWDERS – non-organic. Processed without additives, preservatives, colorings or fragrances.
RHASSOUL CLAY and OKINAWAN MARINE CLAY – are sun dried and untreated. Rhassoul clay is mined from beneath the Atlas Mountains in Eastern Morocco, while my marine clay is found in limited areas off Okinawa’s coast.
