I've often used their herbs for infusions when I was out of my own and I think their great. I'm so glad the Nettle seed is working for you, it really is a remarkable plant in so many ways!

I was wondering if you had an opinion as to which company is better - Mt Rose or Pacific Botanicals - for nettle leaf, chickweed, comfery, and oatstraw dried herb. I'm located in Seattle. I'm following Susun Weed's suggestions for hormones and bone health. I do seem to go thru a lot of infusion and this is getting expensive :) BTW I've been trying the nettle seed you recommended - it's working well for me! I harvested and dried my own - that was quite the undertaking. Thanks so much. Lorene Hi Kiva Rose,

I have been looking for a close, smaller source of herbs, and you have one listed in Idaho-how wonderful. Thank you also for the post on peach pits; we will have to save all of ours next year (And we'll try not to be sad that our pits from this year are rotting in the compost pile!) and tincture them.
