To know...

The importance of local purchase! Medicinal plants cultivated in Quebec are more expensive, but the quality is exceptional. Our herbalists make them dry whole (with some exceptions), in the rules of the art. The plants are cultivated here and do not have to travel (polluting transport) from a distance to your home. In addition, they are always freshly dried. Paying a little more to encourage our producers from here, it's worth the investment!
