What are tinctures?
Tinctures are concentrated herbal preparations made by steeping roots, leaves or flowers in alcohol. This process ensures that the active ingredients of the plant are optimally extracted, so that our tinctures contain the full potency and benefits of the herbs. The added alcohol not only ensures rapid absorption into the body, but also extends the shelf life of the product.
How do you use tinctures?
Tinctures can be taken directly, undiluted or diluted in a glass of water. Use the handy dosing pipette for this. You can use this here also buy separately. When you let the tincture stand for a while, the alcohol evaporates, while the active ingredients are preserved. Preferably keep the liquid in the mouth for a minute before swallowing. This ensures that the ingredients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the oral mucosa, which is an important advantage over capsules that must first be processed by the digestive system.
Are tinctures safe for children?
In general, tinctures are safe to use on children, but it is important to follow the correct dosage and precautions. Children may be more sensitive to certain herbs and plant extracts. It is recommended to seek the advice of a healthcare professional or experienced herbalist before giving tinctures to children, especially if the child is young, an infant, or someone with an underlying health condition. For example, some herbs may interact with medications or may not be suitable for children due to their potential for side effects. It is also important to watch for any allergic reactions and keep tinctures out of the reach of children to prevent accidental use.
How long does it take to see results when using natural products?
The time it takes to see results can vary depending on the individual and their specific health goals. Some people experience improvements quickly, while others may take a little longer. It is important to be patient and consistent with using natural products for optimal results.
