Each Tincture is made with homegrown & organic plants extracted in certified organic Cane alcohol and filtered water.
All of our extracts are made according to their own phytochemistry ~ using different ratios of menstruum (alcohol + water) to create a holistic extract with the desired plant constituents.
Each plant is honored for their individuality and is treated with reverence & respect.

Tinctures are potent extracts that some may not like the taste of. I suggest diluting in your drink of choice, like orange juice, water or tea. Hot tea is my favorite choice as it helps to evaporate some of the alcohol.

Each tincture bottle comes with a simple paper label with ingredients and suggested use/dosage.
1 oz dropper bottles
New tinctures are added seasonally ~ reach out if you have any questions!

Internal remedy / Not for topical use, unless stated that it can be used as a liniment (like Yarrow)
Consult doctor before use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding or are on any medications.
