Traditional Medicinals® makes Herbal Dietary Supplements, Natural Health Products, OTC Medicines and Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products for the global market. 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 (THM).
Since their beginnings, well over a billion cups of tea have been produced at their beautiful country facility and some products like Organic Smooth Move®, Organic Throat Coat® and Organic Echinacea Plus® have become mainstream and can be found in supermarkets and drug stores throughout North America. Additionally, their product offerings have expanded to include some of their best selling tea formulas in other forms such as pastilles, syrups, powders and capsules.
The Change We Seek®
We are committed to providing affordable traditional herbal medicine for family, health, and welfare. Every herbal product we make is designed to serve a specific purpose. As such, they are formulated according to well-defined systems of Traditional Herbal Medicine that guide the appropriate combining of herbs. We won't make products using just any herbs.
Every tea and herbal product that we make must have sufficient evidence of safety, quality and efficacy in support of our claim statements and formulation rationale. Our products are created for self-care of common, non-serious conditions.
