From bloom to bottle, tinctures are crafted with care by hand to create the highest quality, potent medicine.

Our Approach

To maintain the integrity and potency of our products we focus on using fresh herbs in small batches, honestly and earnestly crafted with our hands utilizing time-tested traditional methods. We believe fresh herb tinctures are unique and potent whole plant medicines that extract the energetics, flavors, vibrant colors, medicinal constituents as well as the vital waters of the plants. Preserving not only the medicinal components of the herbs but also the vital essence of each plant.

In contrast, the vast majority of herbal products today are produced on a large scale, made from dried plant material that has been shipped long distances and often stored for a long time. These products are often ineffective and lack the vital essence and energetics that a fresh plant extract offers.

Our Herbs

We strive to craft the majority of our tinctures, salves and hydrosols with fresh herbs that we cultivate on our micro-farm in beautiful Mount Shasta, California or that we harvest from locally abundant wild plants. This means the harvest window for fresh herbs at peak potency is short and when a product sells out it often isn’t available again until the next harvest window. The majority of the herbs in our products are grown on our small farm with organic methods and absolutely no chemical or synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are ever used. Herbs that we cannot grow or wild harvest are sourced from trusted growers.

We collect many species of wild herbs that are considered “invasive”, naturalized and native to the area. Herbs that are sourced from the wild are collected carefully from areas that we have studied and tended for many years. We strive to cultivate a deep understanding, connection and respect for these plant communities and knowledge of species and population dynamics. The health and extent of local populations of native medicinal plants is the highest priority and we only collect species that are abundant with intention on maintaining these stands for the future in robust health.

Our Commitment

To provide you with the most high quality botanical medicine possible by using only the finest and freshest ingredients. We are committed to serving the plants, people and the planet with this work. It starts with tending medicinal herb gardens and connecting with stands of wild plants. The plants are the foundation of healthy ecosystems and the heart of each herbal product that reaches you. It is our hope that these herbal remedies promote self care, enhance wellness and encourage you to connect back to the natural world with delight, stewardship and respect.

Tinctures 101

Herbal tinctures are a liquid solution of herbs and alcohol. The herbs in our Single Herb Tinctures are always harvested with respect and care at their peak seasonal potency and processed in small batches. Tinctures are produced with pharmaceutical grade organic cane spirits according to standard tincturing ratios. They are infused for one complete lunar cycle in glass jars and are then pressed and bottled.

We take pride in producing tinctures from fresh plant material, creating the most consistent, potent, energetic and medicinal remedies. To create our formulas, we start with our high quality single herb tinctures and combine these to create effective and potent compounds. Formulas are crafted with herbs that work synergistically with each other to address a specific health concern, specific system imbalances, and enhance overall health.

Fresh herb tinctures are concentrated plant remedies that are better assimilated by the body than dried herbs and capsules. They should be used at their lowest effective dose. Suggested dose varies by extract. Consult individual labels for dosage. Tinctures should be taken in a small amount of water, or in hot water to evaporate off the alcohol. When stored in a cool dark place tinctures have a shelf life of five years.
