On third-party dispensing. Herbal formulas are dispensed directly from this clinic. We do not provide written formulas for third-party dispensing — not as a restriction, but as a clinical guarantee. Granule quality, sourcing standards, and substitution practices vary significantly between suppliers. A formula prepared elsewhere is not the same formula. We ship Canada-wide. If you are outside our area, contact us to arrange direct dispatch.
