Research and Lending A Helping Hand
Be kind whenever possible, it is always possible.
One of Evergreen’s mission besides producing top quality herbal extracts and educating the west on drug-free alternatives to health is our desire to make a difference in people’s lives. We can't imagine a better way than helping people back to health so they can completely enjoy what life has to offer. This idea has led us to donate our herbs to those in need, and to donate the herbs to research and development.
If you are volunteering in a non-profit expedition to provide healthcare, we would love to help. Contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

These are just some of the many events that edge our profession slowly towards becoming mainstream medicine. When our family committed to becoming practitioners of this medicine, our talents, training, and tenacity led us to start the herb company. Promoting communication and education through research, teaching, and supporting the efforts of others came naturally; and giving what we can, where we can, makes sense in our lives and efforts. We have made a life-long commitment to help the profession grow. We hope our passion for the medicine serves not just as fuel for our involvements, but also as a catalyst for other companies to follow.
