The Ridgecrest Herbals Mission

Ridgecrest Herbals History

RidgeCrest Herbals traces its beginnings to a line of natural botanical formulas developed for chiropractors, naturopaths, and other health professionals in the 1980s. Although these formulas were remarkably effective, the original company, Natural Alternatives, struggled to survive. Paul Warnock and Clyde St. Clair came to the rescue, recognizing an opportunity to expand into health food stores and reach a wider audience. Paul and Clyde launched their expansion in 1993, incorporated in 1994, and re-branded as RidgeCrest Herbals in 1996. Their hard work and passion for helping people find natural alternatives paid off, and by 1998, ClearLungs® was the #1 natural lung formula in the US market. Today, RidgeCrest Herbals is led by Matt Warnock, Paul's son, who is now the owner, and Will Christensen, CEO. These days we are growing our roots outwards a lot.

Since 1994

RidgeCrest Herbals is an award-winning developer and manufacturer of safe and effective natural botanical formulas for various specific health needs. A pioneer in the eclectic herbal tradition since the 1980s, RidgeCrest Herbals develops botanical formulations containing ingredients from Chinese, European, Native American, Ayurvedic, and other natural disciplines.
