PRODUCT IMAGES ARE REPRESENTATIVE. Actual herbs, roots, flowers, bark, seeds, and other botanical materials may vary in color, shade, size, texture, appearance, and processing cut depending on harvest, supplier, and available inventory.
Unless a particular form is explicitly guaranteed in the written description, your product may arrive whole, sliced, chopped, diced, cut and sifted, shredded, or in various piece sizes. Where a specific form, such as powder, whole root, or sliced root, is expressly stated as a product specification, that specification will be honored.
RETURNS & REFUNDS: We review requests individually. We generally do not accept returns or issue refunds solely because a correctly described botanical differs from a representative photograph in natural color, texture, or unspecified cut size.
