The Himalaya is an aromatic treasure chest.
To ensure rural communities benefit, our herbs are sustainably
gathered from community-owned
forest groups whenever possible.

The Himalayan region is a vast storehouse of medicinal
and aromatic plants, which have been used by indigenous people
for healing and ritual purposes since ancient times. Fresh
and pungent, the herbs we use are carried down from the Himalayas
by knowledgeable caretakers of the world's most prolific herb
garden. Wild Earth's founders have studied the traditional
uses of Himalayan plants extensively.We have created a range
of products drawing upon these ancient traditions to bring
the benefits of these herbs to a wider audience.
|
Most
of our herbs come from remote, economically fragile mountain
communities. By purchasing at the source whenever possible,
we give harvesters (women are usually the herb-gatherers
in Nepal) maximum income for their raw materials. Our products
are hand crafted by women mostly from poor, remote communities
now working in Kathmandu and able to support their families
through their work. Wild Earth supports fair trade and sustainable
harvesting practices with no animal testing.
