Traditional Medicinals (TM)

In early 1974, three young friends started Traditional Medicinals in the back of a small herb shop along the Russian River in Northern California. The company was founded with the intention of providing herbal teas for self care, while preserving the knowledge and herbal formulas of Traditional Herbal Medicine. At the time, traditional herbal tea infusions had all but faded away in the United States. And never before had these reliable formulas been available in convenient tea bags. Over the decades that followed, the company introduced millions of health conscious consumers to traditional herbal tea formulas.

Traditional Medicinals uses pharmacopoeial grade herbs in its products and bases its formulations on the principles and practice of Traditional Herbal Medicine. It uses herbs that are farmed or wild crafted under organic certification. It works with Fair Trade and other certification organizations for the monitoring of equitable trade practices in its supply chain. Traditional Medicinals never uses herbs sterilized by irradiation or ethylene oxide, and it never uses genetically-modified ingredients. The company has incorporated clinical testing and scientific understanding to ensure the reliability of its products, while retaining its reverence for the beauty and mystery of Nature. They are also committed to sustainable harvesting.
