As soon as more Tinctures are ready we will add them to our Online Shop. At the moment we have only Alcohol based Tinctures but we are preparing Vegetable Glycerine Tinctures as well.
Tinctures are Infused Herbal Remedies for different kind of ailments. Herbs are infused in an alcohol or glycerine base. The alcohol based Tinctures are stronger and the Glycerine based Tinctures a bit more sweet in taste. An alcohol Tincture has a longer shelf-life ( 2-4 years ) while a glycerine Tincture has a shelf-life of 1-2 years. Read the description well as some Tinctures are NOT recommended using during Pregnancy, Breastfeeding and for young children. Babies under 1 year old should never get any herbal remedy.
