How To Use Herbal Tinctures

Our herbal tinctures are packaged in glass bottles equipped with an easy-to-use dropper. One serving is equal to one full dropper. To fill the dropper, simply press it lightly one to two times, which will provide a complete serving—approximately 20-30 drops or one milliliter of tincture.

Please note that a full dropper won't reach the very top; the serving amount will be just below the cap's line. When the tincture level gets low, it may take a few extra squeezes.

How To Incorporate Tinctures

For optimal effectiveness, consume tinctures on an empty stomach or between meals, allowing for the quickest and most effective absorption—ideally at least 30 minutes away from food or drinks. The simplest way for adults to take tinctures is to mix them with one to two ounces of water and consume it quickly, similar to a shot. Holding the diluted tincture under the tongue for 5 to 10 seconds can enhance absorption into the bloodstream.

For children or anyone who finds the herbal taste unappealing, consider adding the tincture to a small amount of juice to disguise its flavour.

When To Take Herbal Tinctures

The ideal time to take your tinctures will vary based on your individual goals and the specific formula you're using. Generally, taking one serving multiple times a day will yield the most beneficial effects.

What Dosage Should You Take?

Each bottle will include specific dosage instructions. However, the amount that works for each person can differ significantly based on individual sensitivity, health aspirations, and daily routines.

The "Go-Slow, Start-Low" Approach

When trying a new herbal supplement, we suggest beginning with a small dose. Start with the lowest recommended quantity on the label depending on your age group, and assess how you feel over the next 30 minutes. This approach is a great starting point. You may even choose to start with an amount lower than what is recommended for experimentation. While a few drops may not produce noticeable effects, this method allows you to go at your own pace. Over time, you can gradually increase your dosage to reach the highest recommended level.

Consider factors like the time of day, hydration, food intake, and stress levels, as they can also influence how you perceive the tinctures' effects. This is another reason to initiate with a low dose before increasing to the maximum dose.
