About Tinctures

At Wildwood Herbs, tinctures are fresh or dried herbs which are soaked in a mixture of alcohol and water for at least six weeks.  The resulting liquid is a potent mix of water-soluable and alcohol-soluable medicinal constituents, and is strained and poured into dropper bottles. Then, one drops the recommended amount into water, tea or juice and drinks it, with no more effort needed than taking a pill.  Tinctures are potent, easy to carry, relatively impervious to extreme tempatures, and last for years.

Alcohol – 1 ml (average dose, sometimes less) contains as much alcohol as 1/54 of a beer.  If sensitive to alcohol, drop tincture into hot water to evaporate or just use teas.
