Premium Herbal Tinctures

Our liquid tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts made by carefully selected plants traditionally used to promote wellbeing. They are easy to take and offer a convenient way to incorporate herbs into your daily routine.

Our tinctures are made using high-quality herbs and medical-grade alcohol. Each tincture contains only the ingredients listed on its label, with no unnecessary additives.

Using traditional tincturing methods, the herb is soaked in medical-grade alcohol and then strained, allowing the beneficial plant compounds to be extracted and preserved in liquid form. Our tinctures are made with a 1:3 ratio – one part herbs to three parts alcohol.

Tinctures have been used for centuries in herbal practice as an easy way to take herbs that are associated with health and wellbeing. Because they are liquid extracts, they are absorbed quickly and can be taken in amounts that suit individual needs.

We only use alcohol-based tinctures, as alcohol provides a traditional and highly effective method for extracting and preserving herbal compounds compared to glycerine-based alternatives.

Dilute 15-20 drops of the tincture into a small amount of water and take this three times daily.

The recommended amount will vary depending on the individual, but we usually recommend between 15-20 drops three times a day.

Yes, tinctures can be mixed with water or juice if preferred. If adding to a warm drink, allow the drink to cool down before adding, as very hot liquids may affect the tincture and its volatile compounds.

Dosage and frequency depend on the herb and your individual needs. Gentle herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari can be taken daily, while others, such as Siberian Ginseng, benefit from a short break cycle. Boswellia is typically taken for periods of temporary discomfort and inflammation. As always, listen to your body. If you’re unsure or are taking medications or managing a health condition, it’s best to consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Yes, tinctures can be safely combined, and many of our clients do this to enjoy the different benefits of each herb. Some prefer to introduce them gradually. If you’re taking medication or have a medical condition, it’s best to check with your doctor or GP first.

Many herbs, including Boswellia and Ashwagandha, have been studied in children without reported side effects. However, all our tinctures are made with medical-grade alcohol, so whether you are comfortable giving your child a few drops of alcohol is purely a personal choice. Always check with your GP or consultant before starting any new supplement.

Any amount of alcohol can affect foetal development, so we do not recommend using alcohol-based tinctures during pregnancy. While breastfeeding, occasional alcohol is generally considered compatible, and the small amount in our tinctures – typically 15-20 drops, up to 3 times a day (around 1.7-2.3ml, less than half a teaspoon) is similar to the trace alcohol you’d naturally find in a ripe banana or some fruit juices. There’s no evidence that this amount causes harm while breastfeeding. That said, the decision to use tinctures while breastfeeding is a personal one. It’s best to discuss it with your GP or consultant to make the choice that’s right for you and your baby.

As we are not medically trained, we advise you to check for contraindications with any medications you may be taking with your GP or consultant.

Check the label carefully before use. If you have known allergies to any of the ingredients, we do not recommend taking the tincture. Some herbs, such as Shatavari, can cause allergic reactions in certain people. If you’re allergic to asparagus, avoid this supplement. Seek medical attention if you experience worsening asthma or allergic reaction symptoms. If you have a particularly sensitive system, start with a small dose and monitor how you feel. If you’re unsure or have existing health conditions, it’s best to consult your GP or doctor before trying a new tincture.

Yes, our tinctures are vegan and fully plant-based.

The time can vary depending on the herb, your body, and what you’re using it for. Some people notice subtle effects within a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks to months of regular use. Listen to your body and follow the guidance on the product label.

Many of our tinctures, like Ashwagandha, Shatavari or Boswellia, can be taken on an ongoing basis with occasional breaks every few months if needed. With Shatavari, as it’s a stimulant, we recommend 6-weeks on, 2-weeks off.

Some herbs benefit from an occasional break. For example, Siberian Ginseng is stimulating, so it’s best taken 6-weeks on, 2-weeks off. Gentler herbs like Ashwagandha or Shatavari can usually be taken continuously, but listening to your body and taking occasional breaks is always a good approach.

Tinctures should be kept in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure the cap is tightly closed to maintain their quality.

When stored correctly, most tinctures will keep their quality for 2-3 years after opening. Always check the best-before date on the product label for specific guidance.

No, tinctures do not need to be refrigerated. Storing them in a cool, dark cupboard is usually sufficient. Avoid leaving them in areas that get hot or damp, such as near a radiator or windowsill.

The right tincture depends on what you’re hoping to support. Each herb has different traditional uses, so it’s best to choose based on your goals and how you feel day-to-day. If you’re unsure, you can contact one of our Nutritional Therapists via live chat or email, weekdays from 8am to 8pm, for personalised guidance.

Yes, tinctures can be used alongside kefir, prebiotics and other supplements. Many people combine them as part of their daily wellness routine. However, if you’re taking medication, have a health condition, or are unsure how different products might interact, it’s a good idea to check with your GP or healthcare professional first.
