Why are sun-dried herbs good?

To preserve and concentrate an herb's properties, they are dried.

Drying herbs preserves the herb, its essential oils, and concentrates its flavor. But not all drying methods yield desirable results. Unfortunately, the priority for large producers is lower cost – not quality. This is the reason for the development of various fast and cheap drying methods you've probably never heard of (and you probably wouldn't believe) such as freeze-drying, vacuum drying, infrared drying, radio frequency drying, ultrasonic drying, microwave drying, pressure drip drying... All these methods neglect the importance of maintaining essential oils in the dried leaves, and thus their healing properties.

At Pharmacy Garden, we use sun-dried herbs. Sun-drying is, of course, a more expensive process as it requires more space and time, but it is the only technique that preserves the potency of herbs as nature intended.

At Pharmacy Garden, we want to preserve the tradition of using medicinal herbs that have been used for thousands of years but have fallen into oblivion, where important steps in processes, such as drying, have been replaced by modern methods. Unfortunately, this means destroying the fundamental aspect of medicinal herbs, i.e., their essential oils.
All our products consist of sun-dried herbs to maximize the benefit of their essential oils. The herbs are therefore full of their essential healing oils at their maximum potential.
