Introduction to Herbal Salvation
Mitragyna Speciosa is a versatile herb that has proved to be extremely useful in the medicine and recreation sector. The herb, popularly known as Kratom, can be used for pain management, treating sleeping disorders, opiate withdrawal, and fighting anxiety and depressions. Some people have also used certain strains of the herb for recreational purposes, such as inducing euphoria.
The problem with Kratom is that it is not well-studied, and the industry is hugely uncontrolled. This leaves the buyers at the mercies of the distributors. Therein lies the problem. A majority of the suppliers care less about the quality of the products and educating their buyers and more about generating as much revenue as possible. As you can guess, this has brought nothing but misery to most buyers. When you are using low-quality Kratom strains, not only are you trading off the excellent benefits of the herb, but you are also opening yourself up for unnecessary adverse reactions. So what you need to do is take your time and search for the best Kratom vendor shipping to your area at affordable prices.
To most people, that vendor is Herbal Salvation. This is based on the user’s testimonials, which seem to paint an excellent picture of this particular vendor. This is great news because when you have users across different states giving positive feedback on a specific company, then surely, the company must be doing something right. And that’s definitely why we had to check out the supplier and give you this in-depth analysis of their business.
Before we even get down to the finer details of Herbal Salvation, let’s address a common confusion regarding the name. Herbal Salvation used to operate under that name for quite some time before it’s was acquired by a company known as Viable Solutions, LLC. This resulted in changes in their operations as well as branding. Today, the products sold by Herbal Salvation are not branded as by that name. However, the company retained its well-established URL. The issue is that there’s another company by the name herbal salvation who brand their products as herbal salvation, but their website URL is slightly different. Don’t get it mixed up.
About Herbal Salvation (Viable Solutions)
Herbal Salvation is a Louisiana-based Kratom supplier. They ship to all US states as well as Canada. The company started its operations in the botanicals industry way back in 2005. This basically makes Herbal Salvation one of the oldest Kratom vendors in the market. We’ve seen Kratom suppliers come and fall within a couple of years due to quality-related issues. The fact that these guys have been operating for more than a decade speaks volumes by itself.
Herbal Salvation has made so much effort to make sure that their customers get only the best Kratom strains. They source only the finest Kratom from South East Asia. These supplies are then tested and carefully packed before they are shipped to their buyers. The entire practice aims at making sure that the Kratom strains are rich in alkaloids and free from contaminants such as microbial and heavy metals.
Website Interface
The Viable Solution website is really simple. Maybe even too simple. At the top of the homepage are a few links, most notable of which is Shop. This is where you will see the different items on sale. Unfortunately, there are no product categorizations here, so you just have to shop all the Kratom strains on a single page. The middle segment of the homepage shows some of the products on offer while the bottom has more links to other information on the company. You can check out the FAQ page, which I found very informative.
One problem with the website is they do not provide information on the Kratoms trains they have in stock. They could tell you where it comes from and measures they’ve taken to prevent contamination but nothing about the properties of the herb or how to use them. This understandable to some extent, given the regulations of the herb. We’ve, however, seen other vendors provide more educational details than these guys.

We’ve certainly seen better product lineups than Viable Solution’s. The following are the only strain that was available at the time of writing this:

Herbal Salvation also stocks Handmade Soaps such as:

Product Quality
Herbal Salvation has set up different measures to ensure that all their batches have met the American Herbal Product Associate Testing Requirements for Botanical Products. These include testing for biological contaminants such as Salmonella, E Coli, Yeast & Mold, and Listeria.
On top of all that, they also have tests that screen the Mitragynine presence in all their batches before they are put up for sale. All the batches must reach their lab standards for them to end up on the shelves.
From this information, it is easy to understand why so many people are impressed with the results of the company’s products. Sure, they haven’t provided the lab test results, but they walk the buyers through the tests conducted, and most importantly, previous buyers have provided positive feedback on numerous Kratom forums online.
Pricing
The Herbal Salvation prices are more than fair. You can get 25 grams of potent strains such as White and Green Vein Maeng Da for just $5. Prices for 100 grams start at around $20 while a Kilo is going for $125. The prices may vary depending on the specific strain you are buying.
On the other hand, 2 grams of 20% Mitragynine Kratom Extract is retailing at $35. One 10ml bottle of the Hush Ultra Kratom Tincture is going for $15.00. You can save more cash by buying more than 1 bottles e.g., 5 bottles of the tincture are priced at $62.50 instead of $75.00, while 10 bottles are only $100.00 and not $150. The Nodzilla Kratom Tincture is much cheaper at just $10.00 for a single 15ml bottle.
Everything considered Viable Solutions prices are much lower as compared to the competition who are selling an ounce (28grams) of a Kratom strain for as much as $12.00 or more.
Shipping and Return Policy
Orders placed before 2 PM EST on weekdays are shipped on the same day. Other orders placed after 2 PM EST or during weekends or public holidays are dispatched on the next business day. Viable Solutions also accepts COD orders, but these can only be shipped via UPS or FedEx. They can email you a tracking code in case you want to track the movement of your order online.
Herbal Salvation has a 30-days return policy in place. You must contact the company with 30 days of receiving your order in case you want to ship them back. They will let you know whether the return is accepted or not before you ship it back. Only the unopened products are accepted for refund or replacement. The returns will also be charged a 10% restocking fee.
Bottom Line
Herbal Salvation or Viable Solutions has so much going for it. The prices are decent, the quality is excellent, and the positive user reviews are just but a cherry on the cake. Not every day do you come across a Kratom vendor that scores so well from different aspects. For that reason, I believe they are worth checking out.
User Reviews
“I’ve tried both as of 2018 and would say herbal salvation absolutely wins” By Nookie4
“I just received their 8 strain sample pack yesterday, and though I’ve only sampled 3 strains so far (Gold Bali, Red Bali, Green Bali), I am very impressed with their quality. Definitely one of my top favorite vendors and the best recent order I’ve made. Not to mention, they might have the best bags as far as sturdiness.” By Ripplemoonriver
“I love those spoons, I have like 4 of them.” By Boognish-T-Zappa
