Tincture Guide
Herbal tinctures are a fast-acting, shelf-stable, and highly bioavailable way to integrate plant wellness into your daily life. Whether you’re new to tinctures or looking to deepen your practice, this guide will show you how to get the most from each drop.
What Is a Tincture?
A tincture is a concentrated herbal extract made by soaking plants in alcohol to draw out their active compounds. This method preserves the potency, shelf life, and bioavailability of the herbs in a compact liquid form.
How to Take Tinctures
- Shake well before each use to ensure a balanced extract.
- Take 1 dropperful (approximately 1 mL) directly under the tongue and hold for 30–60 seconds before swallowing.
- Alternatively, dilute in a small amount of water, juice, or herbal tea and drink normally.
This sublingual method allows for quicker absorption into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes, especially when taken directly.
How Often Should I Take It?
- For most formulas, take 1–3 times daily, depending on your wellness needs and product guidance.
- Consistency is key — herbal support builds gradually over time.
- Listen to your body and adjust as needed. Start slow if you're new to herbal extracts.
Storage & Shelf Life
