Plant Contents Horny Goat Weed, Epimedium graniflorumStinging Nettle, Urtica dioicaSt John’s Wort, Epimedium perforatumYarrow, Achillea millefolium This Tincture We use organic, home grown or sustainably wild-harvested plant materials in all our products. A tincture is one of the best ways to extract the active constituents of the plants. The extract time varies depending on plant, with a minimum of 4 weeks from tincturing to decanting. For most tinctures of fresh leaf and flower material we use a more gentle 80-proof (40%) alcohol to allow for higher and more frequent dosaging versus a stronger menstruum. A higher proof alcohol might be used for herbs with greater water content or resinous materials. Using a Tincture Tinctures are absorbed very quickly when a dropperful is taken under the tongue, and held in your mouth for 10-20 seconds. Some plants do have a very strong or bitter taste that might not be agreeable this way, so you can also mix a dropperful of tincture with a glass of water or herbal tea. Tinctures of most plants can be taken as needed, but you should always research the specific species you are using for accurate dosing information and any contraindications. For best results with herbal supplements, always seek the advice of a qualified herbal practitioner. Disclaimer This product and associated statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
