An herbal tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made by macerating (soaking) herbs in a mixture of alcohol and water over an extended period. This process extracts all of the medicinal compounds and constituents out of the plant material, resulting in a bioavailable and medicinal liquid. Herbal tinctures are valued for their effectiveness, long shelf life, and versatility in addressing various health concerns.

Alcohol is commonly used to make herbal tinctures due to its ability to efficiently extract and preserve the active constituents of herbs. Alcohol serves as an excellent solvent, extracting a wide range of bioactive compounds and therapeutic components from the plant material. This extraction process ensures that the tincture captures the full spectrum of beneficial properties present in the herbs.

We use a non-GMO and organic cane alcohol to ensure that the tincture is made with the highest quality alcohol available.

Per dose, the alcohol content in the tincture is extremely low.

Tinctures are best taken on their own, underneath the tongue. Because the tinctures are alcohol based, this allows for the tincture to absorb directly into the bloodstream for an efficient and effective benefit.

Tinctures can also be taken in a beverage of your choice. If the beverage is hot, allow it to cool slightly before adding the tincture to avoid minimizing the potency.

An herbal tincture is a potent and convenient form of herbal medicine that delivers a strong dose in the easy to use format of a liquid extract! Tinctures are also the most bioavailable form of herbal medicine due to its alcohol base.

Herbal teas and powders are great options for those who don't like the strong taste or alcohol content of a tincture. Despite being slightly less effective than a tincture due to being absorbed via the digestive system, herbal teas and powders are great methods of consuming herbs. Find specific how to use instructions for powders and teas below!

To brew a medicinal cup of herbal tea, we suggest allowing the herbs to steep in the water for 10-15 minutes. It is also important to cover the tea using a lid while it steeps, this will ensure that the essential oils and medicinal compounds do not dissipate with the steam.

Honey and lemon can be added to help with taste, although we tend to think the teas taste wonderful on their own!

Herbal powders can be used in capsules, smoothies, beverages, baked goods, salad dressings, soups and more! We recommend using 1-2 tsp at a time.

All of our droppers have 1ml markers on them to help you measure how much of the tincture you are taking!

Our tinctures are made using a combination of locally sourced spring water and non-GMO organic cane alcohol.

We'll macerate the herbs in the liquid for anywhere from 4 weeks-4 months depending on the herb before pressing, bottling and labelling all by hand.

All of our tinctures are made using dried herbs to ensure the highest possible potency and purity!

Every tincture and supplement is different, so we recommend consulting a health care practitioner prior to using more than one supplement, tincture of medication at a time.

Cautions for each tincture can be found on the bottles label.
