Blue Poppy Herbs was founded in 1982 by Bob Flaws and Honora Wolfe – both well-known authors, teachers, and TCM therapists. For many years, Blue Poppy focused on publishing TCM books in English until 1999, when the first series of Chinese herbal supplements, Blue Poppy Originals, was introduced under the name Blue Poppy Herbs. These formulas are based on Bob Flaws' over twenty years of experience and are specifically tailored to Western needs. The range of Blue Poppy Herbs has been continuously expanded and now includes the following product lines:
- Concentrated traditional formulas in tablet and capsule form – Blue Poppy Classics
- Unique formulas based on modern Chinese research – Blue Poppy Original Formulas
