Why is alcohol an ingredient?

Alcohol is the best, relatively nontoxic, substance for extracting and concentrating the constituents in most herbs.  Alcohol is not harmful in small amounts.  Most tinctures contain less than 50% alcohol.  Glycerites, without any alcohol, are relatively weak and much more extract must be used to get the same amount of herb power.  Alcohol helps to preserve the extract and prevent the breakdown and loss of herbal properties and the growth of bacteria.

How much alcohol am I getting?

The amount of alcohol in our extracts ranges from 10% (Glycohols) to 70%, with most tinctures containing 30%-50% alcohol.  the amount you get in one dose is very small.  If you take 2 droppers of Echinacea tincture with a 50% alcohol concentration you are getting about 1ml of alcohol.  this is about 1/40th of the amount of alcohol in an 8oz  glass of wine.

7

How often should I take an herbal tincture?

Most herbal extracts are cleared from the body within 4 hours, so it is best to take tinctures 2-4 times a day rather than in a large dose once a day. in acute situations, tinctures can be taken every hour or two, for a short period of time.

8

How much is a full dropper?

The amount of tincture pulled into the glass tube with one firm squeeze of the rubber bulb at the top is a full dropper.  If you count the drops they will number between 30-40 drops.  Six droppers will fill a teaspoon.  Never tip the dropper up and let the tincture run back into the rubber bulb.

How much can I give my child?

Many parents dilute adult strength formulas to give to their children.  Be aware that some herbs in adult strength formulas may not be safe or appropriate for children.  Tincrtures containing more than 10% alcohol should always be diluted in a small amount of water or juice before giving to children. See chart below.
