Herb Product FAQs

*We are not certified herbalists. May these descriptions support your own healing research & inner wisdom.

How to take a tincture:

We recommend taking a half dropperful to a full dropperful of our single herb extracts, 1-3 times per day depending on how acute your situation is that the herbs are supporting you with. Some benefit from 5 drops, while others prefer the full dropperful.

How to take a glycerite:

Use as you would a tincture. If taking for energetic properties, such as rose for the emotional heart, small doses hold great medicine. Just a few drops on the tongue or in a glass of water can bring in the plant’s healing ways.

How to take an elixir:

Our elixirs fall into the “food herb” category. Oxymels (apple cider vinegar & honey blends) are lovely traditional remedies that do not use alcohol for extraction. They are safe for daily and semi-frequent use. We enjoy a dollop in warm or cold water, added to seltzer water for an herbal spritzer, or a simple tablespoonful in the morning or afternoon.

How to use topical oils:

Intended for external use only, our infused organic oils may be used independently or by adding a dropper full to whatever oil base you like to use on your skin (such as coconut, jojoba, sesame, avocado, apricot kernel oils) and applying evenly. For regular use, best after a hot shower or compress to open the pores.
