Herbal tinctures are one of the main components of our medicine cabinet. They are a great way to build your holistic medicine cabinet.
These highly concentrated liquid herbal extracts are perhaps the most popular form of herbal medicine, alongside teas.
Herbs (fresh or dried) are macerated in alcohol to extract their beneficial properties. Glycerin or vinegar may also be used, but will not last as long.
We have used herbal tinctures for many years, with great success. With proper resources we have used them for our youngest since he was born.
Now that he's a toddler I find great joy in including him in the tincture making process and and proud he will grow up with these skills.
We began offering herbal tinctures several years back, as I want to share this resource with our community. We have offered several tinctures in our line up, and will be adding several more this month!
Holy Basil, Stinging Nettles and Motherwort have been popular. We are adding Ashwaganda, Astragalus and Catnip.
Our tinctures are made from locally foraged plants, farm grown plants or purchased from Mountain Rose Herbs (affiliate link).
Do you use herbal tinctures? Are you interested in learning to make your own?
