Western Herbs

Western herbs are herbs traditionally used in Europe, North & South America and by Native Americans. Asian herbs are sometimes included in this group after they have become popular in the West. "Western" herbs are usually the ones we hear about most in the media and in herb books. We carry many of these as bulk herbs, cut and sifted or powdered; you can see them lined up on our shelves in glass jars.
