MEDICINAL TINCUTRES

Tinctures are an important part of my herbalism practice. Though I rarely sell a 'straight' tincture (except in the case of Echinacea) I offer here a list of the tinctures I currently make with note of their properties.

My tinctures cost $5.95 for a 1 oz dropper bottle. If you would like to order a custom blended tincture, please contact me. We can discuss your needs and then I will give you a price, product code, and description to enter at the bottom of this tincture page.
