The Magic of Tinctures
As the creator of herbal tinctures, we’ve spent years perfecting the craft, blending traditional methods with modern knowledge to offer you some of the most potent herbal remedies available. But what exactly are tinctures, and why are they one of the best ways to experience the healing power of herbs? Let’s dive in!

What Are Herbal Tinctures?
In simple terms, herbal tinctures are concentrated extracts of herbs. To make them, the herb is soaked in a solvent—typically alcohol or glycerine—that draws out the plant’s beneficial compounds. The result is a potent, liquid form of the herb that you can take in small doses to support your health.
We love tinctures because they offer a powerful way to deliver the full spectrum of an herb’s benefits. Whether you’re new to herbal medicine or a seasoned user, tinctures make it easy to integrate herbs into your daily routine.

Why Tinctures Are a Game-Changer
Here’s why tinctures stand out compared to other forms of herbal medicine:
  • High Potency: Tinctures are incredibly concentrated. Just a few drops can deliver the full benefits of an herb, making them much more potent than teas, capsules, or powders.

  • Ease of Use: One of the things my customers love most about tinctures is how convenient they are. You can add them to water, juice, or take them directly under the tongue. No brewing, no fuss—just quick and easy herbal support.

  • Long Shelf Life: Because tinctures are preserved in alcohol or glycerine, they have a long shelf life. This means you can stock up on your favourites and they’ll stay fresh for months, even years.

  • Customisable Dosage: With tinctures, you’re in control. Start with a small dose and adjust as you see fit. It’s a personalised approach to herbal medicine that allows you to find what works best for your body.
Alcohol vs. Glycerine-Based Tinctures: What’s the Difference?
We offer both alcohol and glycerine-based tinctures because we believe in giving you options that suit your needs and preferences.
  • Alcohol-Based Tinctures: These are the go-to for potency. Alcohol extracts a wide range of beneficial compounds from herbs, making these tinctures strong and fast-acting. They also have the longest shelf life, so they’re great if you’re looking for something that will last.

  • Glycerine-Based Tinctures: If you prefer an alcohol-free option, We’ve got you covered. Glycerine is a sweet, plant-derived solvent that’s gentle on the stomach and ideal for those sensitive to alcohol. While glycerine tinctures might be slightly less potent and have a shorter shelf life, they’re perfect for children or anyone looking for a sweeter, milder taste and a non-alcoholic alternative.
