You do need to know what you're looking for - some herbs go by a variety of names. If you look for Queen of the Meadow, it's not there - but gravel root (same herb, different name) is available. The shop is packed full of herbs, but the owner knows what she's got and she can find it quickly.

I shopped at Life Springs quite a bit when I lived nearby…read more Since then I have moved quite a distance away and dont have a good health food store in my area, so I am forced to buy online. Today after putting in a good sized online order, I was curious to check how prices lined up with Life Spring. I still have some containers of supplements I bought when I was last in the area so I was able to make comparisons. TO MY SURPRISE, THE PRICES AT LIFE SPRING WERE EQUAL OR LESS THAN THE ONLINE SUPPLIERS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER! So, to anyone tempted to save money and buy online, forget it! You will do as good or better with Life Spring! Plus, you will be dealing with some real nice local people who deserve your business!

The store is filled with herbs for really any ailments that you may have. It's a good starting point and I recommend you learn eastern medicine or have some sort of education on it prior to going so you know what to grab if shopping.

I get they were busy. But it was just depressing how clear it was they didn't want to help me, when…read moreI even called in advance to see, and they said that they *would* be able to help me figure out what I needed... but I'm glad they are here helping, as best they can, so many sick people to hopefully actually cure their diseases naturally. I got the sense that if you make an appointment with their dr Lisa, they'll be more thorough and even explain things and give dietary advice (no fried, spicy, inflammatory foods). She was out for the holidays though so I couldn't make an appointment to see her. I do think many of the herbs can be purchased elsewhere; some for cheaper, some not. Also, just a heads up - when I opened the Bravo Tea teabags they recommended that I bought, they were so tiny - it seemed like with hardly any herb in them - but measured out, it is a bit less than a full teaspoon, which is about what many herbalists recommend for most herbs.

We responded stating that we were adults and were here to shop and spend money. The man at the front desk then made multiple remarks under his breath aimed towards us, which completely turned us off to coming in. 6 of us were planning on spending money and none of us ended up doing it due to the statements of the man at the front. Two of my other friends that did proceed in were then stared at and talked about during their shopping and were made very uncomfortable and ended up leaving without purchase.
