Bulk Medicinal Herbs available from the Homesteading Shopper

Bulk Medicinal Herbs - Great Savings!

All of the dried herbs listed here come in 4-ounce bags and sell for a price that is a huge savings over the herbal teas you will find in most health food stores.

For example, buy Mullein Leaf in individual tea bags at your local health food store, and you will pay around $4 for a little less than an ounce.

But, buy that same dried mullein in bulk, and you will get four ounces for just a few pennies more.

And don't forget your Mesh Tea Infuser, Tea Ball, or Brew Bags, to use for steeping your teas. Our infusers range in price from $1.70 to $2.83.
