Because I visited Patagonia, Argentina, I tasted the Rose Hip during breakfast and tarts filled with Rose Hips Jam. I used to buy the jam in California Mediterranean Markets but my decision to make home Rose Hip Jam was a good way to celebrate the Holidays, and wrap the jars as gifts to my family and neighbors.
I bought several herbs for teas and spices and there is nothing like dry Greek oregano in my kitchen. The Greek oregano is delightful in a Toscana tomatoes salad, sauce or pizza.
As an eco-person I use Bay Dry Leaves inside organza little bags to hung in closets and my sewing room to keep away moth without using chemicals.
I purchased lemon grass oil and learning a formula that can compete one of the fine perfumes in the stores.

Not quite as good as Herbalcom.com
December 22, 2022

Shipping with Herbal.com was always $8.50. I was quite surprised to find myself paying almost double. Also I was always able to get Japanese Knotweed cuspidatum but now I have to buy it from Amazon.

I was told that if I used the email I used at Herbalcom I would still get the $8.50 shipping. I did do this. I didn't get it and it was not refunded.

A mainstay for me!

I am a former customer of herbalcom.com. Herbco.com gives the same outstanding service and product. I specifically use these a good bit for my horses and me too so I am thankful for this source for herbals.
