Using Naturopathy, Food, & Herbs For Healthier People & Planet with Chris Alstat of Eclectic Herbs

The Herbalist's Path

Meet the brilliant woman Chris Alstat, the powerhouse behind Eclectic Herbs in Sandy, Oregon! As a naturopathic physician, mom, teacher, and all-around compassionate business guru, Chris spills the herbal tea on her adventure from '90s New Zealand to the herbal haven she's cultivated today. Eclectic Herb, founded by the visionary Dr. Ed Alstat, flips the script on herb preservation—cue the freeze-drying magic to lock in all that nutritional goodness.

We got to dive into Chris's 16-year love story with her late husband Ed, witnessing Eclectic Herb evolve from a physician's secret to a health food store sensation. Chris shared her love of herb camps on Eclectic’s farm, where kids mix up remedies and concoct potions. She shared her secrets to getting little ones hooked on gardening and cooking. Despite the COVID curveball, Chris can't wait to restart the herb camps, sharing the joy of growing and nurturing life with the next generation.
