🌿 WHAT ARE TINCTURES?
Concentrated herbal support for the systems that support you.
🌱 A Simple Explanation
A tincture is a liquid herbal extract made by soaking plant material in a liquid that pulls out the herb’s active compounds.
The result is a potent, fast‑absorbing, easy‑to‑use form of herbal support.
Tinctures are one of the most efficient ways to work with herbs because they deliver the plant’s benefits in a concentrated, bioavailable form — without pills, powders, or complicated routines.
🔬 How Tinctures Work
Tinctures work because the extraction process captures the herb’s most active compounds in a liquid your body can absorb quickly.
Here’s what happens:
• The herb is soaked in alcohol, glycerin, or vinegar
• The liquid extracts the plant’s beneficial constituents
• The mixture is strained
• You’re left with a high‑potency herbal extract
Because tinctures are liquid, they don’t need to be broken down by digestion — your body can use them quickly and efficiently.
🌟 The Core Benefits of Tinctures
⚡ 1. Fast Absorption
Tinctures can be taken under the tongue, where they absorb through the tissues directly into the bloodstream.
This means:
• Faster onset
• Higher bioavailability
• More consistent results
It’s one of the quickest ways to experience herbal support.
🌿 2. Potent + Concentrated
Tinctures deliver a meaningful amount of herbal constituents in a small dose.
This makes them ideal for:
• Daily routines
• On‑the‑go support
• People who don’t like pills
• Anyone wanting a simple, effective herbal option
💧 3. Easy to Use + Easy to Dose
Just squeeze the dropper, take the liquid, and you’re done.
You can take tinctures:
• Under the tongue
• In water
• In tea
• In juice
• In smoothies
They’re flexible, portable, and effortless.
🧽 4. Gentle on Digestion
No fillers.
No binders.
No capsules.
No tablets.
Just the herb + the extraction liquid.
This makes tinctures ideal for people with sensitive digestion or those who prefer clean, minimal formulations.
