Eclectic Herb

Eclectic Herb 🌿 Pioneers in Fresh Freeze-Dried Herbs

Since 1982, we've been dedicated to harnessing the power of nature.

Our herbs are locally grown, sustainably harvested, and freeze-dried fresh in-house to lock in the full spectrum of natural benefits. For 40 years, Eclectic Institute has delivered the highest quality dietary supplements on the market. We have a full line of 100% fresh freeze-dried herbs and whole food powders, as well as herbal extracts, vitamins, creams, oils & a children's line. PIONEER OF THE INDUSTRY:
Eclectic was the first in the herb industry to use freeze-drying technology. By freeze-drying fresh, whole herbs (rather than air or heat drying) Eclectic produces supplements that retain the fresh plants' biologically active constituents and natural potency. Eclectic is now freeze-drying fresh, raw, whole fruit, herbs, and vegetables to provide food powders that can be simply mixed with juice, added to smoothies, or sprinkled on food to boost nutritional intake. Eclectic's POWders provide Plant Originated Wellness in a tasty, economical and convenient form. Eclectic was also the first to use ORGANIC alcohol for its herbal extracts in order to provide the best quality extracts. And again, Eclectic was the first to produce alcohol-free extracts that especially appeal to children and those with adverse reactions to alcohol. Eclectic was the first to introduce Fresh Upgrade - a product line of herbs that are assayed for a range of bioactive compounds and include fresh freeze-dried, whole herbs. Fresh Upgrade is superior to standardized extracts because it contains the herbs' active cofactors that are left behind by solvent and CO2 extraction and traditional drying methods.

🌱 What does “wildcrafted” really mean?

It’s:

▫️Harvesting plants where they naturally thrive
▫️Taking only what the land can give
▫️Honoring the plants and respecting the land

Wildcrafting is a relationship—not a shortcut.

📚🌿 Step Into the Eclectic Library! 🌿📚

Did you know that behind Eclectic Herb is a hidden world of vintage herbal texts, antique remedies, and botanical secrets spanning centuries? This isn’t just a collection of books—it’s a living map of the plants that have earned their place in human history through consistent, time-tested results.

Meet the "Old Reliables"—the herbs that herbalists have returned to again and again across generations:

✨ Hawthorn – The Heart’s Guardian. Referenced since the 1st century, it moved from a general tonic to a specialized ally for heart function, circulation, and long-term cardiovascular support.

✨ Elder – The Seasonal Protector. A mainstay in medieval European herbals and monastic medicine, trusted for centuries to fortify the body’s defenses and support immune resilience.

✨ Rosemary – The Mind’s Catalyst. Known for "remembrance" in old herbals, it has long been used to support clarity, focus, and healthy circulation to the brain and scalp.

These plants haven't endured by habit alone; they remain central because they work. Discover the stories, the science, and the vintage wisdom waiting for you in the Eclectic Library.
