Don’t believe us? Here are some more facts:⁠
⁠
🍽️ The most recent data from the Association of American Medical Colleges says that MDs/DOs get an average of 19.6 total hours of nutrition education throughout their 4 years of medical school, however this ranges from 0-70 hours depending on the program.⁠
⁠
🥗 Licensed naturopathic doctors get from 100-220 hours of nutrition education. This includes not only clinical nutrition knowledge, but also drug-nutrient interactions. ⁠
⁠
🌺 There is no standard for MDs/DOs to learn botanical medicine or how to identify drug-herb interactions. While some medical schools may provide some context via elective courses, this is not required. This is especially important with increasing numbers of patients resorting to natural health products in conjunction with their conventional medical treatment.⁠
⁠
🌿 But what about functional medicine doctors? Functional medicine is not considered a standalone area of medicine. These are practitioners who obtain an additional online certification, while NDs have this education built into their curriculum with in-residence clinical supervision.⁠

In February of 2024, we launched a new sustainability tool to help us assess the impact of our herbal offerings, while also improving our sourcing transparency. Since this initiative was launched, a rating for each of our herbs and spices has been published on our website.

Through doing this work, we have improved the sustainability rating of many of our botanicals, and are excited to share that we now have a selection of herbs that are 100% sustainable! These include:

🌿 US-Grown Comfrey Leaf
🌿 US-Grown Comfrey Root
🌿 US-Grown Chamomile
🌿 US-Grown Calendula
🌿 UG-Grown Sage Leaf.

The scoring matrix for the Sustainability Rating is based on the following criteria:
(45) Certified Organic
(1-30) Distance from Mountain Rose Herbs
(10) Certified Fair Trade/Fair Wild/Regenerative Organic Certified
(5) Certified For Life
(5) Certified Zero Waste
(5) Energy Conservation Efforts

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our customers who actively support this work, and to our hard-working farm partners. We received a lot of positive feedback about this initiative, and your caring allows us to continue doing this important work.
