We believe in full disclosure of what we are selling and what you are taking. We carry hundreds of herbs that are made into groups of herbs or “formulas”. Eagleherbs maintains a full pharmacy and 80% of our formulas are mixed individually. However, sometimes a person will order a formula and that herb is not available. Often these missing herbs are obscure “assistant” herbs that are rarely used or our distributor may no longer carry. Rather than wait the days, weeks or months for that herb to be made available, Eagleherbs reserves the right to substitute an equal suitable herb with a similar if not superior function. These substitutions will always be reflected on our label.

The placebo response is a poorly-understood response by the body that generates temporary healing and/or the perception of progress in one’s health status. The key point is that there is sudden improvement (which is our goal) but…

Eagle Herbs formulas that call for ginseng (人参, 人蔘, rénshēn) often include real ginseng, not the cheaper alternative called Codonopsis pilosula (党参, dǎngshēn)*. Codonopsis root is not a true ginseng, though it does roughly the same thing for the digestion as ginseng. It is cheaper which is good for those who want to save money,…

Wondering how much granulated herbs you should take? Good question! Although they can be powerful, herbs can be seen more as foods than drugs. The label on the bottle gives you a good guideline as to the dosage but don’t feel like you have to follow them that exactly (but take your herbs responsibly). The most…

However because pregnant women are “taking herbs for two”, we should be particularly careful with anything given to women while pregnant. Those who have a history of miscarriages or other pregnancy issues should be particularly careful not to take…
