Tinctures

Tinctures

We make our tinctures by infusing plants in organic alcohol for a minimum of 4-6 weeks.

They are a convenient way to use herbal medicines, easily portable and with a long shelf life if stored properly. They can be taken straight from the bottle, or diluted in a little water. For people who are avoiding alcohol, the dose can be steeped in warm water for a few minutes so that the alcohol evaporates. Tinctures refer to single herbs (simples) and tonics are made with combinations of herbs.

These tinctures offer you the opportunity to try them singly or to mix your own tonics.

If you are looking for something that isn’t listed, please contact us as we are happy to custom-make a tincture for you, if possible.

Tinctures with an * are made from plants that we gather or grow ourselves. All others are purchased from a reputable supplier and may be wild-crafted or organically cultivated.
