FAQs
- What is a tincture?
- A tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made by soaking herbs, plants, or other organic materials (like mushrooms) in a solvent, most commonly high-proof alcohol. It is designed to extract the plant's active constituents for medicinal or therapeutic use.
-
Why are your tinctures not made with alcohol?
-
We chose to go with vegetable glycerin over alcohol. This is called a glycerite. This means they are not bitter, do not have a burning sensation, or potential to cause stomach upset, which is common with alcohol based tinctures. They have a sweet, pleasant, herbal tea flavor, and are gentle on the stomach. This also means they are safe for children, with parent/guardian supervision.
