At Eclectic Herb, our goal is simple: preserve plants as close to their fresh state as possible. By freeze-drying herbs soon after harvest, we help protect delicate enzymes, phytonutrients, flavonoids, and aromatics that can be affected by heat.
Founded in 1982 by naturopathic physician Dr. Ed Alstat, Eclectic Herb began with a deep respect for plants and the Eclectic tradition of herbal medicine. We introduced freeze-drying to our herbal work in the 1990s and continue to use this process today.
With an emphasis on locally grown, organic, and responsibly sourced botanicals, we create whole-herb products that reflect the character of the original plant. Now woman-owned and led, Eclectic Herb remains committed to sustainability, authenticity, and preserving the connection between people and plants.
