Eclectic Herb

Eclectic Herb 🌿 Pioneers in Fresh Freeze-Dried Herbs

Since 1982, we've been dedicated to harnessing the power of nature.

Our herbs are locally grown, sustainably harvested, and freeze-dried fresh in-house to lock in the full spectrum of natural benefits. For 40 years, Eclectic Institute has delivered the highest quality dietary supplements on the market. We have a full line of 100% fresh freeze-dried herbs and whole food powders, as well as herbal extracts, vitamins, creams, oils & a children's line. PIONEER OF THE INDUSTRY:
Eclectic was the first in the herb industry to use freeze-drying technology. By freeze-drying fresh, whole herbs (rather than air or heat drying) Eclectic produces supplements that retain the fresh plants' biologically active constituents and natural potency. Eclectic is now freeze-drying fresh, raw, whole fruit, herbs, and vegetables to provide food powders that can be simply mixed with juice, added to smoothies, or sprinkled on food to boost nutritional intake. Eclectic's POWders provide Plant Originated Wellness in a tasty, economical and convenient form. Eclectic was also the first to use ORGANIC alcohol for its herbal extracts in order to provide the best quality extracts. And again, Eclectic was the first to produce alcohol-free extracts that especially appeal to children and those with adverse reactions to alcohol. Eclectic was the first to introduce Fresh Upgrade - a product line of herbs that are assayed for a range of bioactive compounds and include fresh freeze-dried, whole herbs. Fresh Upgrade is superior to standardized extracts because it contains the herbs' active cofactors that are left behind by solvent and CO2 extraction and traditional drying methods.

🌿 Every herb has a story.

For us, that story starts with the plant itself.

Our Echinacea is grown in Oregon, harvested fresh, and freeze-dried while fresh to preserve the whole root.

No extracts. No unnecessary processing. Just the whole plant, kept as close to fresh as we can make it.

Echinacea, grown and made in Oregon. 🌿

Herb of the Month: Echinacea 🌸

Echinacea is one of the most recognized herbs for seasonal wellness — but did you know that not all echinacea is the same?

Different species — and even different parts of the plant — have their own unique profiles of naturally occurring compounds. That’s why what’s in your echinacea matters. 🌿

At Eclectic Herb, we start with certified organic echinacea grown in Oregon. We harvest the roots and freeze-dry them fresh to preserve the whole herb as closely as possible to the way it came from the ground.

Nothing extracted. No fillers or binders. Just whole, fresh freeze-dried echinacea root. 🌱

Want to know the difference between Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia — and why we freeze-dry our herbs?

Are you choosing turmeric—or just curcumin? 👀

Whole turmeric contains curcumin alongside aromatic oils, fiber, and other naturally occurring plant compounds. These compounds help with absorption of curcumin, and have other health benefits that are lost when they are thrown away when curcumin is extracted.

Here at Eclectic Herb, we believe that Mother Nature already knows what she is doing, and start and END with fresh, whole certified organic turmeric grown in Hawaiʻi. We freeze-dry the whole rhizome, with all of its co-factors intact and no fillers.

Choose whole. Choose Eclectic. Explore our turmeric through the link in our bio.

Meet our founder, Dr. Ed Alstat. 🌿

Ed grew up on a farm and went on to become a pharmacist, but plants were always part of the bigger picture for him. He was endlessly curious—about how herbs worked, how they had been used, and what they could offer.

He followed that calling into naturopathic medicine and eventually, in 1982, founded Eclectic Institute (now Eclectic Herb).

What started with one man’s fascination with plants became more than four decades of Eclectic—and we’re still carrying that legacy forward today. 🌿
