A NOTE ABOUT OUR STANDARDS — All of our tinctures and elixirs (except for the mushroom elixirs) are made with 100-proof alcohol (grain alcohol and local spring water) and fresh plant material. For elixirs, they are made with 100-proof alcohol, raw honey, and fresh plant material.
We source fresh plants from California, from farmers who practice organic farming or “beyond organic” farming practices. All herbs are made into extracts within 24 hours of being picked, so they are extra potent!
We use fresh plants to preserve both water- and alcohol-soluble constituents that are lost when the plant is dried. Fresh plants make for a more potent extract and preserve the life force of the plant in the season it was meant to produce in.
Tincture = alcohol + herb
Elixir = alcohol + raw honey + herb
