About Tinctures

What is a tincture you may ask? It is an extraction of a plant in alcohol. I use the “folk herbalist” method of making tinctures. Meaning I use fresh harvested plants, extracted in 100 proof vodka and infused  for 6-12 weeks then strained. 

A couple of things to know: 

All of the plants are harvested sustainably, wild crafted or garden grown. I look for ways to give back and practice reciprocity and gratitude. 

Fresh plants have alcohol soluble properties and water soluble properties. Using 100 proof vodka means the vodka is 50% alcohol and 50% water. Creating a perfect environment to extract all the healing goodness from the plants.  

Time is truly the secret ingredient. Giving the plants & alcohol the time they need to infuse together creates an alchemical process that is magical and complex. 

There is a deep intelligence at work in the medicinal plants that has been observed over the course of human history. All of the plants I work with have traditions of use that are thousands of years old. 

If by using one of my tinctures you feel more supported, healthy or better, please consider getting to know the plant. Look the plant up on google, look at pictures, find the plant in the wild or at your local nursery, consider growing the plant. The healing process is just the first step in a deep relationship that will provide you with sustenance and support for your entire life. 

May it be so. Blessings.
