Our tinctures are made with love and in small batches. We use Certified Grain Organic Alcohol and only use fresh and organically grown or wild-harvested herbs cultivated without the use of pesticides, fertilized with organic manure from our own chickens, rabbits and little kinder goats, and the water used is from our private well which is sustained by the NisquallyRiver. Our tinctures are "extra strength" not like the watered down and dull products found on the commercial marked today. While sampling a good portion our competitor’s products we found that the majority of them use more distilled water than alcohol, and the herbs they use are probably not picked fresh during harvest - which ultimately means there's less of the good stuff. We think you'll notice a difference with our tinctures.

Your tincture will arrive in a 2 fluid ounce amber glass bottle with black dropper. Please read bottle label for recommended dosage and read the information mailed with your tincture. Take with water. Shake well prior to use. To maximize shelf life please store upright in a cool, dark location.

Precautions - Sometimes dong quai makes monthly bleeding heavier, since it dilates blood vessels and improves the circulation to the uterus. It may be recommended to stop taking this herbal remedy during menstrual bleeding to control the flow. Do not take if you take medications for high blood pressure or to thin the blood. It should be avoided during pregnancy. Some people may find themselves sensitive to sunlight when taking this herb.
