About Herb dx
Patrick Edgmon
Founder
of Organic Industries and creator of Chinese Herbwords and the Tincture
Calculator. Patrick's fascination and career began in 1983 with his
first line of medicinal tinctures, study tapes and booklet "HerbWords"
about herbs and how to pronounce their names.
Over this 25-year
span, Patrick has been able to work with some of the most prominent
doctors, researchers and herbalists in the herb industry. This has been
the source of the cutting edge information that makes Chinese Herbwords
and the Tincture Calculator such valuable tools for education and
herbal product production.
In January of 2000 Patrick was able to
implement a third ethanol distillery for a customer in Oregon. After 3
years of
designing, planning and
negotiation with the Tax and Trade Bureau (formerly the A.T.F.), the
Oregon Liquor Control Commission and City Officials, it was completed
and
producing 190 proof grape and
corn ethanol for the tincture and cosmetic industry.
The full spectrum of Patrick's experience as an engineer,
clinical
herbalist and software programmer has allowed him to present herbology
from a very unique perspective with a complete knowledge of the art,
science and production of herbs.
"I truly enjoy this fascinating work with plants and the
science and
industry that have tapped into the creative force within them.
The future holds potential beyond our
wildest imagination if we will learn to respect and cherish the order
behind nature and its gifts we have been so blessed with."
"This was the next step of the dream I had been nourishing from the first time I worked at Sunny Pine Distillery in 1993. It was a joy when it began producing certified 190 proof organic alcohol for the tincture and cosmetic industries."
This distillery has corn fermentation capacities of up to 2000 gallons per cycle.
