Herbal Extracts & Custom Blends
We carry around 25 different organic and wildcrafted herbal tinctures (listed below) for personal use. We can also create custom blends if you'd like to make you're own formula or if you'd like us to create a blend for any specific theme. We incorporate several unique methods to maximize the extraction of each herb and improve upon the typical ways of making herbal extracts.
Most tinctures are either glycerites or alcohol-based. The majority of alcohol-based tinctures are way too high at around 40-60%. This gives a diluted product that's far from ideal. On the other hand, glycerites taste better, but aren't able to extract many of the compounds that alcohol does. We believe in balance and the combination of low organic alcohol (around 19-24%), organic glycerin, and spring water will make the best product.
The Difference in Our Tinctures
We incorporate several steps in making our plant-based tinctures to make sure they are as balanced and strong as possible. We source extremely high quality organic and wildcrafted herbs from the best farms and vendors. Over the years, we've ordered herbs from so many places and have seen how quality varies tremendously, even with so called organic and wildcrafted herbs. We make sure to source the most vibrant and medicinally potent herbs we can find.
A critical part of our process is breaking down the herbs prior to extracting. This increases the surface area which causes more of the phytocompounds to be effectively extracted. It really does make a difference, yet hardly any companies bother to do this because it takes more time and effort.
Double Concentration
Our first extraction uses the highest amount of herbs that we can while still allowing it to be shaken. The traditional way of chopped herbs in alcohol can still extract some of the compounds, but is far from being maximized.
After straining the liquid of our first extraction, we use that same liquid and add in a second round of herbs to achieve even more potency. Nearly all tinctures on the market will be from one extraction only. It takes more time and more money, but is worth it. Realistically, and without the typical advertising exaggerations, the final product is around 2-3 times more concentrated than typical tinctures.
