Pure Siberian Ginseng Herbal Tincture

Siberian ginseng, known as Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus or Acanthopanax senticosus), is a small woody shrub from the Araliaceae family. Traditionally used in medicine for over 2,000 years, it is reputed for its stimulating effects on the nervous system and its role as an adaptogen—a compound that may help the body handle stress. This includes potential support in increasing energy, reducing fatigue, improving cognitive function, and enhancing exercise performance.

Siberian ginseng is valued for its potential effects on the nervous system and its classification as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are thought to help the body manage stress by influencing the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which plays a key role in the body’s response to stress. Proper stress management is crucial for overall health, as chronic stress can contribute to various health issues, including susceptibility to infections, cardiovascular problems, mood disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and musculoskeletal pain.

Pure Shatavari Herbal Tincture

Shatavari has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for promoting fertility and supporting the female reproductive system. Recent studies, such as a 2018 review in Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, suggest it may help with conditions like hormonal imbalances and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, Shatavari is often included in herbal formulations aimed at alleviating menopause symptoms and has been used to help manage anxiety and depression.

Shatavari is also traditionally used to support a healthy gut, heart, and immune system. Scientific interest has grown around its polyphenols and saponins, which are thought to stimulate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses in human cells for both males and females. Additionally, Shatavari has been studied as a supplement for potentially enhancing muscular strength and endurance in men.

Pure Boswellia Herbal Tincture

Boswellia Serrata, also known as Frankincense, is a herbal extract derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree. It is often referred to as ‘nature’s steroid’.

Research suggests that Boswellia Serrata may have potential benefits in various areas:

• Reducing Inflammation: Boswellia Serrata contains compounds such as terpenes and boswellic acids, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties that could help protect healthy cells.
• Alleviating Joint and Arthritis Pain: Some studies indicate that Boswellia Serrata might contribute to reducing joint pain, with findings suggesting up to a 65% improvement, comparable to certain prescription medications.
• Supporting Recovery from Infections: Boswellia Serrata is thought to potentially lower the severity of infections affecting the respiratory or sinus tracts, potentially aiding in relief from symptoms such as coughing, colds, the flu, or a sore throat.

These potential benefits are based on ongoing research and should be considered as part of a holistic approach to health and wellness.

What is a herbal tincture?

Tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts made by soaking some part of a plant in alcohol, which works to pull out or “extract” the active ingredients in the plant parts, concentrating them as a liquid. This liquid can then be consumed by adding 15-20 drops into a small amount of water.

Tinctures have been around for millennia and are a key component of traditional herbal medicine. Tinctures make it easy to consume the natural health-boosting chemicals found in some plants. An estimated 80 percent of the world population relies on tinctures for at least some of their healthcare needs.⁸

Our premium organic herbal tinctures are made right here in the UK, by soaking one part certified organic Siberian Ginseng root in three parts 30% alcohol.

We use a medical grade alcohol which is grain-derived, pure 95.5% ethanol with a distilled water 4.5% additional, adhering to the British and European pharmacopoeia monograph specification. It is approved for use in medicine production and perfectly safe for human consumption.
