Cost includes all materials for your tincture. Chose from yarrow, rat root, fireweed, red clover or juniper berries.

Tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts made by soaking plant material in alcohol or another solvent to draw out the active constituents. This traditional method of preserving and delivering plant medicine has been used for centuries across cultures due to its potency, long shelf life, and fast absorption into the body. A few drops under the tongue or in water can offer targeted support for immunity, digestion, stress, hormonal balance, and more. Because tinctures are highly concentrated, they allow for precise dosing and can be customized to meet individual wellness needs. Alcohol is the most common base, as it effectively extracts both water- and fat-soluble compounds, though glycerin or vinegar can also be used. Tinctures are especially valued in holistic and Indigenous medicine practices for their portability, versatility, and ability to capture the spirit and healing essence of a plant. They offer a simple yet powerful way to integrate the natural world into daily wellness routines.
