Anyone have any opinions on these web sites for ordering of bulk powdered herbs?
I ordered from andrographis from http://www.herbalremedies.com/ . Hasn't shipped yet, so I can still cancel if someone thinks there is a better website.
I ordered chaparral powder, thyme powder, horseradish powder, organic tribulus fruit (Tribulus terrestris) powder, organic turmeric root powder, and Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil from http://www.starwest-botanicals.com Looks like they already shipped, so I guess it's too late to cancel.
They probably aren't the best prices, but I wanted to get this stuff ASAP. Also, how important is it to get organic? I was not able to find organic for most of these.
Thanks!

There are so many places to choose from. I liked this one because the product smells so fresh, they seem knowledgeable, most of it's double wrapped in plastic and mylar and it gets to me very fast (2-3 days, but I live sorta close). They don't have everything though, and I've used other places that aren't as good for things they don't have.
Just checked out the price of yucca root and it's $22 at starwest and only $9 at monterey bay, and ashwaganda is only $3.50 at MBS and $13.92 at SW. And check out turmeric, it's only $2.50 a pound or $9.50 for organic at MBS.
There's a ton more to choose from at SW though.
Let us know how your stores turn out.
Also, how important is it to get organic?
I prefer wildcrafted herbs to organic. Not only are they stronger than organic herbs they also tend to be cleaner.
Explain the difference please?
I have posted on this before. In kind of a rush right now so if nobody finds it before I get online tonight I will find it or rewrite it.
I like Frontier brand~~
I have never liked Frontier. I have not ordered from them in years because the quality of their herbs and essential oils were very crappy in my opinion. Maybe they have cleaned up their act, but I am still sticking to the companies that I have always gotten consistent quality from.
Hv,
what are your favorite companies to order from? thx.
I order primarily from wholesalers and raw material suppliers. But they don't sell to the general public. I get some herbs from Starwest because I like their quality, and they do sell to the general public as well.
