TINCTURES


Tinctures are liquid extracts of herbs. Mine are almost always extracted in grain alcohol, but occasionally in brandy.  Tinctures are a convenient way to take herbs, as they are concentrated and portable as opposed to tea. My tinctures are sold in larger sizes than you are likely to come across elsewhere.  This approach is more economical, and reflects the realistic dosage needed of certain herbs and formulas that require long-term use.

Tri wizard tincture– The  name began as an insider‘s reference to a Harry Potter book, but perplexingly, it stuck. It actually has nothing to do with wizards. However, the combination of these three herbs has given this tincture local acclaim as a magical remedy for the common cold.  It does seem to work uncannily well in shortening the duration of an established cold, or thwarting it entirely if taken early enough.  Contains: Yerba Mansa, Oregon Grape Root, Red Root.

Hops and Pops Sleep Drops– This tincture combines my strongest sedative herbs for a bitter, but highly effective sleep remedy. Contains: Hops, California Poppy, Valerian, Wild Oats, Skullcap, Lavender, Veg. Glycerin.

Nervine Formula– A combination of herbs to support the nervous system, this formula may be used any time of day to regain composure when feeling anxious, stressed or oversensitive. It is also a serviceable sleep aid if your insomnia is due to racing thoughts or pathological attentiveness to external stimuli. Good for Nervous Nellies. Contains: Scullcap, Wild Oats, Anemone.

Liver Lover– Seems like most people‘s livers are a little tired these days. This formula will support your liver in breaking down toxins and assimilating nutrients. This leads to better digestion, clearer skin, less allergies and sensitivities and less anger and frustration! How about that? Contains: Dandelion, Burdock, Yellowdock, Oregon Grape.

Digestive Bitters– Yes, they are bitter, but that‘s the point! The bitter taste of these herbs stimulates digestive enzymes and peristalsis to encourage better digestion, assimilation of nutrients and timely elimination. It works wonders for preventing gas, bloating, and indigestion. Good for nearly everyone. Contains: Gentian root, Turmeric root, Angelica root, Fennel glycerite. *Not for use in pregnancy (but I can fix you something else).

Take Heart! Hawthorne Tonic– Use this tonic daily to tone and nourish the heart. Over time hawthorne can prevent many common heart condtions. This formula is made at full medicinal strength, making it preferable for those dealing with clinical heart conditions. Contains: Fresh Hawthorne leaf and flower, dried Hawthorne berries.

Hawthorne Cordial– This is a brandy based tincture that tastes just dandy! This tincture confers all of the heartening benefits of the Hawthorne tree, but is great for those who wish to prevent heart conditions or just want more courage! Contains: Fresh Hawthorne berries, brandy.

Wild Rose Cordial– This highly coveted substance is made in small batches. Wild Rose imparts a delicate flavor to this brandy based tincture, which has astringent cooling effects on irritated tissue and a tonifying effect on smooth muscle. Also cools and soothes anger, irritation, depression and melancholy,  nurtures romance and promotes gentleness with the self. Contains: Hand harvested Wild Rose blossoms, brandy.

Neutralizing Cordial– Michael Moore called this an “Elegant Phamaceutical“ and that it is. Popular with the eclectic physicians in the early 1900s, Neutralizing Cordial settles all manner of digestive ills. Try this pleasant tasting formula for nausea, gas, indigestion, diarrhea and the dreaded “stomach flu”. Contains: Goldenseal, Ginger, Turkey Rhubarb, Cinnamon, Peppermint, sodium bicarbonate, sugar.  *Not for use in pregnancy (but I can fix you something else).

Pollen Potion– This seasonal allergy formula contains herbs with antihistamine properties to prevent the body’s overreaction to harmless pollens. This is a non-drowsy formula, although it may make you more likely to nap under a flowering tree on a warm summer day. Contains: Nettle, Ambrosia, Yerba Mansa, Yerba Santa, Goldenseal, Veg. Glycerin.

Vitality Adrenal Tonic– Our oft-neglected adrenal glands govern many vital functions. From regulating the release of stress hormones to supporting production of sex hormones and sleep hormones, think of this formula as an all around balancer. Don’t let this broad categorization fool you, this is probably my most profound formula. You will feel less stressed, calmer, more alert, balanced and self possessed with regular use. Contains: Ashwaganda, Siberian Ginseng, Wild Oats, Reishi, Licorice.

Chamomile Colic drops– This simple Chamomile glycerite is safe and effective for people of all ages, but was made with babies and small children in mind. Chamomile is highly effective for settling upset tummies and helping to relieve the pains of gas and colic. Ingeniously, Chamomile flowers also have an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect on painful gum tissue during teething, as well as being a calming, gentle sedative for screaming babies.  Contains: Fresh Chamomile blossoms, Veg. Glycerin.
