Blue Poppy became known during the early development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the United States, founded by Bob Flaws and Honora Wolfe — recognized pioneers who helped support and shape the profession in its formative years. While its founders have since retired, Blue Poppy continues to evolve and serve the TCM community.
The company began by addressing a critical early need: access to English-language educational resources on Chinese medicine. Through publishing and professional seminars, Blue Poppy helped support students and practitioners at a time when formal training options were limited.
As the field matured, Blue Poppy expanded into high-quality herbal products formulated to meet the needs of American clients. Today, its offerings include classic and modern formulas in capsules, liquids, topical applications, and excipient-free granules available as both single herbs and formulas.
Blue Poppy also developed acupuncture needles designed to deliver consistent quality at a reasonable price, resulting in the widely used Balance and Tempo needle lines.
Committed to the advancement of the profession, Blue Poppy supports practitioners through knowledgeable service staff, professional organization involvement, and global acupuncture initiatives. Building on its educational roots, the company now offers continuing education through a modern online learning platform.
With decades of experience behind it, Blue Poppy remains focused on quality, education, and ongoing innovation — supporting today’s practitioners and the generations to come.
