Ron Teeaguarden , Master Herbalist at Dragon Herbs
I had the pleasure of visiting Ron Teagarden’s Dragon Herbs Health Emporium at Santa Monica late last year. Ron’s Place is the real deal and here is a picture of Ron giving a mini herb consult to a customer . When I was there I had a dreadful sore throat and although Ron was not there one of his herbalists was on duty at the counter and suggested something that could help. ( i took the herbal capsules for the rest of the day and it certainly helped to resolve my situation ) . Ron’s place is just off Santa Monica Boulevard and provides a quiet respite from all the frantic activities on the main strip. I had heard about this place, but did not know what to expect, but was delighted in its Oriental ambiance and friendly staff. At the Emporium, there is a herbal tea and tonic bar which I decided to try. The tea bar has a variety of teas and elixirs and I decided to have a cocktail of medicinal mushrooms. Great choice! The elixir was bittersweet and I could taste the quality of the mushrooms and feel the energy in my body move! Wow! Now I could say more about this place but the purpose of the blog is to give accolades to Ron whom I have followed for decades via his website and give a plug to this place and his book – Radiant Health. Ron is always talking about quality and his place and products personify this. Well worth visiting his website for a mindful of information and good reading – https://www.dragonherbs.com
