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, ensuring that our tinctures contain the full power 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 to use tinctures?
Tinctures can be taken directly, undiluted or diluted in a glass of water. Use the handy dosing pipette for this. You can also buy these separately here. When you leave the tincture for a while, the alcohol evaporates, while the active substances are retained. Preferably keep the liquid in your 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 compared to capsules that must first be processed by the digestive system.
Are tinctures safe for children?
In general, tinctures can be used safely for children, but it is important to follow proper dosage and precautions. Children may be more sensitive to certain herbs and plant extracts. It is recommended that you seek advice from a healthcare provider or an experienced herbalist before giving tinctures to children. Especially when it comes to young children, babies or children with underlying health conditions. 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 monitor for any allergic reactions and keep the 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 may vary depending on the individual and specific health goals. Some people experience improvement quickly, while others may take a little longer. It is important to be patient and remain consistent with using natural products for optimal results.
