Tinctures

Tinctures are an excellent way to support your body or simply to maintain the functioning of your systems. For those who are sensitive to western medicines or who are uncomfortable with the idea of ingesting man made chemicals, tinctures are a wonderful alternative.

What is a tincture?

Herbs and parts of herbs are soaked in alcohol for 3-6 weeks leaving the liquid after that time concentrated with the benefits of the herbs, the liquid is called a tincture and is a potent form of what has been soaked.

A few reasons why to use tinctures...

Easily digested-
Due to the liquid form that is achieved after the 6 week process, your body can easily absorb what is ingested and does not need to expel energy digesting. This is especially important for people who have digestion problems.

Shelf life-
The shelf life for most tinctures is about 5 years, kept out of sunlight and best stored in dark glass. Fresh herbs and dried herbs lose efficacy after a short period of time making the tinctures a great way to get all you can out of your herbs.

Empowerment-
Imagine taking your own health into your hands and preparing natural remedies that you know are benefiting your body. You are able to control the quality of your medicine by choosing which herbs to use and where you get them from. You can also experiment by making a blend of different herbs to make your own unique tincture.
