Ren ClaveyGuestClareHostJackHostI spent a lot of time with a raw herb dispensary on premises, but there was a year in between two clinics where I had no raw herb dispensary.
So I sent through quite a lot of formulas for you to make up in that time.
And then every now and then, if we don't have a particular herb in stock, and it's a really important one for that particular formula, or if we're just too busy to be able to make it up ourselves, we'll just send it through to you guys.
Handball it along and people love it.

It arrives quickly.
