About Our Hand
Crafted Products andChinese Patent Herbal
Medicines:
As a small personal business, nothing made here is done by
machinery.Everything we make is made to order as ordered on that very
day. This is as fresh as it comes! Our Plant Cures Products are capped or liquid poured (By
hand) on the day they are mailed in most cases. The tinctures are made by
soaking in 40% organic food alcohol over a period of two weeks and
constantly replaced as supplies are
needed.
Sometimes you may notice some powder or smudges on our Plant
Cures capsule product bottles (Or bulk teas and herb powder products) and
sometimes even a drop or two of dried liquid on our liquid tincture
products.
Once
we even received an email about this from someone asking, "The outside of some of the
bottles look dirty. Is this from storage? Are the containers
sanitary? And how can I be sure that the product is not expired
if there is no expiration date?"
Well we think these are all good questions! Here is
what's happening:As
far as our sanitary standards go it is like this: This is a "Mom and Pop"
business and we wash our hands many times a day as we handle the precious
herbs! Honest!! (Some
people would almost think we were "compulsive" and I guess we are about
this)
What may look 'dirty" sometimes is fresh
herb extract powder from hand capping the
herbs (The powder gets everywhere) Then (If there is a
lot of powder excess on the bottles) sometimes they are wiped off with a
clean damp cloth leaving an herbal "smudge" from the highly water-soluble extract
powders. The powder that gets on the bottles can become
almost like fine "mud" sometimes when a little moisture is
applied. Our fresh containers themselves are packed in sealed bags of
six to each bag and very sanitized. Our products are never stored more than
a day or two after this! Even our herbal powders we use are
restocked every few days or so (Driving the UPS guy a little bit
crazy! He doesn't mind though)
We know many companies these
days just order volumes of product and store them for years
sometimes! This is
sure not the case with Plant Cures! Also this is the reason there is never
any "expiration date" on
our Plant Cures capsules or tinctures. Rest assured the Plant Cures capped
products and dried goods are all very good for at least two or three
years or more! (The liquid tinctures are good for up to twenty years or
more (Due to alcohol tincturing) as long as kept in a dark place with the
lid on tight!
As for our Chinese Patent Herbal
Medicines:
These are manufactured in China and made from the freshest of
herbs. These “Tea pills” are made from fresh herbs grown or wild crafted
far away from polluted cities. They are water and alcohol extracted then
concentrated with low heat to a dried solid then tumbled into round pills
using absolutely no fillers! They are polished only by the tumbling
process leaving you only pure concentrated herbs!
These are lab tested in the USA and guaranteed
by nuherbs and Plum Flower to be free of any heavy metals or
contaminants. nuherbs and Plum Flower are extremely health
conscious!
I have used them for over 30 years in this business and
they have my complete trust. The Chinese herbs used are laboratory
tested for all heavy metals in the USA by a third party. (If even 2
parts per million show they are not used) Many turn out even
better than some of the "Organic" herbs sold and grown here in
the US!
