WHAT IS A TINCTURE? (Traditional, Legal and Standard Definition of a tincture)
A Traditional tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made by soaking herbs, plants, or other materials in alcohol usually 40-60% f for 90-180 days to pull out and preserve active compounds. They are primarily taken orally, often via a dropper under the tongue for fast absorption, and are used for herbal remedies. Tinctures compared to teas or infusion have a long shelf life. Teas and infusion only last 4-7 days. Tinctures can last 3-5 years.

Our Approach to Herbal Guidance
We love connecting with our customers from around the world! While we're happy to answer questions about our products, please understand that we can't offer personal health advice or consultations. Legal rules are very strict about this. Our product descriptions offer general information based on historical and traditional herbal suggestions, and many scientific studies supporting herbal and holistic preparations are available online.
Our main goal is to provide you with high-quality herbal products at affordable prices. For personalized health advice or specific herbal needs, we suggest reaching out to your local healthcare practitioner, private physician, or a trusted herbal or medical resource.
How We Craft Our Extracts
We make our unique herbal extracts right here, on-site, using time-honored methods that steep for 90 to 180 days. We ethically gather all herbs at their peak potency.
Unless otherwise noted, our extracts are crafted with 80-100% pure grain (corn) alcohol (40% ABV). If you prefer to avoid alcohol, simply add your dose to a small amount of boiling hot water, tea, or coffee and stir. The alcohol will evaporate almost completely within about a 1-3 minutes. The alcohol content in an average dose of our tincture is roughly equal to the amount found in a ripe banana.
Are Our Herbs Organic?
All our herbs are 100% pure, free of pesticides and herbicides, and are never fumigated or irradiated. They're also non-GMO.
Extract Potency & Ratios
Our extract ratios are prepared as follows:
Extract Lifespan
Alcohol-based tinctures can last virtually a lifetime if kept away from heat and light, typically staying potent for 7 to 10 years based on common storage results. Can be refrigerated after opening.
Suggested Dosage
This is up to you and your healthcare provider. Generally, dosages are 20-60 drops added to hot tea or hot water, one to four times per day, or as advised by your healthcare practitioner.
How to Take Your Extract
Always shake well before use. (There can be micro amounts of plant material) You can add drops to hot tea, coffee, or juice, one to four times daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. You can also administer the drops under your tongue for direct absorption into the bloodstream. Many customers even add it to their morning juice!
Why Does My Extract Look Cloudy?
Our extracts are made in the "old-fashioned," traditional way. It's completely normal for some extracts to appear cloudy or have suspended particles (particulate matter). Also, herbs can vary slightly in color and taste from season to season. Just shake well before using!
Drop Count per Bottle & Milliliter
Milligrams Per Dose
Since our herbal extracts are made in the traditional way, giving precise milligram (mg) amounts per dose is difficult. Generally, the mg amount is represented by 1 milliliter of extract (about 25-30 drops). Remember, quality is more important than quantity. We suggest starting with the lowest suggested dosage and gradually increasing it based on your body's reaction to the product. Some people are allergic to certain plants, so start low and go slow.
