A traditional tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made by steeping botanicals in a menstruum (alcohol and water) for 90 to 180 days. This time-honored method pulls out and preserves active compounds that water alone cannot.
Shelf Life: While teas last only days, our tinctures remain potent for 3 to 5 years (and often up to 7–10 years if stored in a cool, dark place).
Bioavailability: Alcohol acts as a carrier for faster absorption compared to bulky capsules.
How should I take my extract? Always shake well before use. You may see micro-amounts of plant material; this is normal for traditional extracts. Add 20–40 drops to hot tea, coffee, juice, or water 1–4 times daily. You can also administer the drops under the tongue for direct absorption.
Why does my extract look cloudy? Our extracts are made the "old-fashioned" way. It is completely normal for some batches to appear cloudy or have suspended particles. Color and taste may also vary slightly from season to season. Quality is paramount!
How do I remove the alcohol? If you prefer to avoid alcohol, simply add your dose to a small amount of boiling water or tea and stir for 1–3 minutes. The alcohol will evaporate almost completely, leaving the herbal nutrients behind.
