Herbal Sourcing: A Global Project

Efficacious herbal medicine begins with sourcing quality herbs. Organically grown and wild-crafted herbs are sourced where possible. MediHerb optimises practices with growers and harvesters for sustainable and quality raw materials. This includes assisting with varietal selection, climatic and soil requirements, time and techniques of harvest, drying parameters and storage requirements. 

Through testing MediHerb has uncovered a number of substitutions, highlighting the importance of correct herbal identification and sourcing. Adulteration and substitution has impacted a number of herbs including Bilberry, Echinacea and Golden Seal. Material that fails our strict quality standard is not used, and may result in product being 'out of stock'. You can therefore always be confident in an efficacious and quality product for your patients.

With healthy soils and temperate growing climates at our doorstep, we're able to partner with local Australian growers in sourcing medicinal plants where possible. When quality standards for specific herbs are best met elsewhere, we source from our trusted global suppliers to ensure the optimal phytochemistry of the plant, grown under ideal geographical and climatic influences, combined with local, knowledgeable harvesting techniques.
