Eagle Herbs

EagleHerbs.com is here to help you make healthy and safe Chinese herbal choices.

EagleHerbs.com is the culmination of 15 years of online experience in Chinese herbalism.

In 1995, EagleHerbs founder, Al Stone L.Ac., DAOM, initiated the first major website devoted exclusively to Chinese medicine known as acupuncture dot com. Soon after, in order to better accommodate requests for herbal consultations, BeyondWellBeing.com was born.

In the years since, Dr. Stone has come to better understand the needs of online herb consumers. So many folks looking for something online end up confounded by the wide variety of herbal medicines.

So, Dr. Stone began to conceive of ways to help site visitors find the formula that is best for them. Thus the EagleHerbs “self-tests” were born. More will be added as time goes by. For now, it is important that one at least determine their body-type and thermal-nature. Given this information, you can make safer and more efficacious choices at EagleHerbs.com.

Of course, there is no better way to determine your herbal needs than to consult with a practitioner, and so private consultations are available too. These are especially good for stubborn or difficult conditions. Many times, one’s needs are more complex than the one-dimensional answers that are provided by the self-tests.

The statements made at EagleHerbs.com have not been reviewed by the FDA.

Products described at Eagleherbs.com are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, because only DRUGS can do that. In fact, that’s exactly how the US government defines a drug, it fixes problems.

At EagleHerbs, we love the USA, and support the FDA’s goal of protecting consumers. However, this requires that we jump through some verbal hoops here at EagleHerbs to make legally sanctioned “structure-function” claims. In other words, we can regulate, stimulate, and support internal organs and their functions, but we cannot claim to fix most problems. Hopefully, we’ve achieved this goal.

EagleHerbs extracts are all 5:1 powders meaning that for every pound of water-soluble powder we offer, it took 5 pounds of raw herbs to make it. These powders come from a variety of pharmaceutical companies in China and Taiwan where they are tested and retested for adulterants and proper identification.

EagleHerbs extracts are inserted into capsules in our Santa Monica, California offices. The powdered herbal extracts come from a few suppliers:

• Evergreen Herbs in City of Industry, California imports its herbal extracts from a supplier in Taiwan.
• KPC (Kaiser Pharmaceutical Company) Herbs from another supplier in Taiwan.
• Tianjiang Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. In the Jiangyin Economic Development Zone (How does that compare to “City of Industry” for a catchy name?) Jiangsu Province, China.

All of these products come from companies that adhere to or are credentialed by Australian or Taiwanese Good Manufacturing Practices.

EagleHerbs uses no endangered or threatened species in our herbal products.

About “The Eagle”

Dr. Tiende Yang with Dr. Al Stone (photo: D. Eisenstark, www.taiqi.com)

My main Chinese medicine teacher (since 1994), Tiende Yang, once remarked that my nose was the shape of the eagle’s beak. He said this indicates that someday I will be famous, but not rich. So far, so good. :)

Tiende Yang is a special guy who was the youngest full professor at the Beijing University of TCM. He had one of our herb bibles, the Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage) fully memorized at the age of 16. He’s the real deal and even represents a familial lineage. His father (Yang, Jia-san) was a driving force in Beijing acupuncture circles. You can find his name on the list of authors of Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion one of the most widely used textbooks on Chinese medicine in the world.

Welcome to EagleHerbs. Be well, be VERY well.
