No, we don’t use alcohol in our herbal remedies. Plants have spirits too.
Here’s something to consider:
Traditional tinctures are often made using alcohol as a carrier to extract the essence of medicinal herbs and roots. While the amount ingested is minimal, we believe alcohol is a substance that negatively affects the spirit of those it comes in contact with— including plant medicines.
Alcohol induces a low-energy state and can create disharmony between the spiritual body and physical body. So why use alcohol to extract something that is negatively altered by it?
Not only does alcohol affect the spirit of the plant, but it can also alter many of its medicinal properties. Out of respect for our medicines, we craft our tinctures with 100% natural vegetable glycerin—an organic compound derived from botanicals. The only additional ingredient we use is Mni, or water, which is a medicine in itself.
Glycerin gently extracts the essence, potency, and spirit of the plants while preserving them naturally—without the harsh effects of alcohol. As a bonus, it has a pleasantly sweet taste, making the experience of taking our tinctures both beneficial, enjoyable, and a safe option for those who avoid alcohol.
