herb suppliers

[Guest guest]

I am doing a term paper for the TAI-Sophia herb program on where to buy herbs.

I know

about K'an, Mayway, Crane, Golden Flower and Needle.

 

Are there any other good suppliers that I am missing.

 

The focus of the paper will be how to use the discounts available to minimize

the cost of

buying herbs, granules, and pills.

 

I can post the paper when it is finished.

 

Thanks,

Zinnia

I like Evergreen and Dragon Herbs also, besides the first 2 you

mentioned. I also use individual herb packets from Tian Jiang which

makes it easy to have a versatile pharmacy without stocking and

wasting raw herbs (which is preferred but I don't have a large enough

patient base right now to support that).

Herbal Times/Nuherbs is another. Also Efong for granules.

Hi Zinnia,

 

Far East Summit just moved from Los Angeles to a new place in Dexter, Oregon.

They have quite concentrated liquid and dry dosage extracts. They also perform

factory runs for other companies like Pacific Biologic (Clayton, CA) that have

modern research CM formulas and some Tibetan formulas. I like Hank Babcock (Far

East operations VP whom I consider a bit of a genius at methodology of herb

extraction.) He cut his teeth under Michael McGuffin in the early 1990s after

his Chinese medical studies. Hank is more of a Taoist practitioner than a

clinical practitioner, and it shows up in his work. I'm amazed by the results

of his extractions (combinations of water/alcohol/low temperatures) as compared

to purely water based extracts that I've seen over the years. Both Far East

Summit and Pacific Biologic products tend to be higher in price, but there's a

lot more work put in to them. I think their products may be represented in the

Golden Needle catalog (not sure), so these companies may already be accounted

for on your list.

 

BioEssence in Richmond, CA is my neighbor just a few blocks away. I've worked

with people there in the early 1990s and continue to like their company's

culture.

 

Respectfully,

 

Emmanuel Segmen

Hi. While I was attending school in Santa Fe, NM, I worked for Dr Zhao the owner

of East Tao Corp. for several years under his instruction. Checking the herbs,

layering the herbs in the pots, preparing them for boiling, reboiling and

mixing, reducing and pouring and sealing, setting up large industrial boilers,

filling cartons, labeling, stocking the warehouses etc. Many little nuances to

guarantee product standardization and efficacy and purity.

Dr. Zhao made frequent trips to china for product purity, and purchasing

quality pearl and other expensive ingredients, and has tried and succeeded in

offering mainly vegetal formulas from wise use manufacturers. He has grown to

where

his powders and pills and many concentrated liquids are prepared in more

quantity, according to his methods, and has a large catalog of formulas which

singly or in combination, can be used by a TCM practitioner, to address many

common and uncommon human health problems.

He combines imho, the best of the traditional, bing ji, and modern scientific

knowledge, resulting in product forms (liquid, pill, powder, etc.), that is

most bioavailable for the necessities of the patient's condition.

Without giving away simple but effective processes he has found useful in

making the plants and substances give up their potency to the end-product, I

have used and will use and recommend east tao product line to anyone.

Look it up and try them, they really are good quality. That is the final

measure.

Alon,

 

I just noticed that the server software deleted the email

addresses that I posted for Far East Summit. I'll write out " code " as

admin at fareastsummit dot com. And also support at fareastsummit dot

com.

 

There is another insight that I think you probably share with me. I

find that the list of companies that I don't do business with is

shorter than the list of companies that I do engage in some level of

business. Part of one's professional development is exploring what

each company has uniquely to offer and how that might be useful to

your own clinical or business practices.

 

Respectfully,

Emmanuel Segmen

One might like to try Life Rising, based in Chicago, products of Master Guo.

Started using some of his formulas after a seminar with him (the most engaging

lecturer on herbs that i have heard). They work well.

Can you point to Master Guo's website or workshops?

Who is he?

Dr. Guo and Life Rising are at www.liferising.com.

 

I have been using his products for 5 years now. It was really fortunate for

me because I have not yet learned Chinese herbology but Dr. Guo knows an

enormous amount about the herbs, formulas, history and even newer sciences

of active components and how they respond to being put into tablets,

capsules, raw teas or granulated teas. He came down from Chicago once a

month or two to teach a small group of us. His products are all categorized

with name, ingredients, effect (clear heat, raise qi, clear damp, tonify qi,

etc. etc.) and its effect on symptoms. This is great for me because I just

arrive at a syndrome and pick the formula(s) that would address it. There

are so many to choose from I can easily get what I need with 2-3 formulas.

Seeing him so often made me realize he is really in it to help people. He

works very hard, is available for consultation, runs a few herb factories in

China and makes sure the herbs are grown and processed correctly with no

shortcuts and keeps his prices at just a touch over break even.
