Single Herb Tinctures (Herbal Extracts)

What are Tinctures?

Tinctures are an extraction of an herb made in water and alcohol. These herbal extracts offer stronger medicinal dosages of herbs than alternative forms of ingestion such as capsules or teas.

Why Take Tinctures?

Tinctures are a concentrated form of herbal preparation. Required therapeutic doses are less than that of herbal teas: 1 teaspoon 2-3 times daily added to warm water.

Tinctures are assimilated more easily than capsules and tablets (which require digestion) because alcohol is readily absorbed through the digestive lining.

Tinctures are convenient, easy to transport and easy to take. They do not require refrigeration and have a shelf life of 3 years.

Most of our tinctures are denoted as 1:3; meaning that 333 grams of dried herb is used in each litre of starting menstrum.
