Used effectively for at least 60,000 years by many different cultures to balance the body's systems as well as to treat illness, herbal medicine—also known as botanical medicine—is a safe, effective, and affordable form of preventative health care.

A Word about Tinctures
Tinctures, when taken under the tongue, are assimilated directly into the bloodstream so they are the strongest, most immediate herbal remedy form.
Some remedies are strong-tasting and bitter in taste, so you can take your dosage with juice or tea. A diluted form is also recommended for children. Though not essential, you'll get the most out of the tincture if taken on an empty stomach. If you are opposed to any use of alcohol, add the tincture to a cup of hot water and let sit for about 5 minutes. The alcohol will evaporate leaving the pure herbal extract for you to drink. |
Herbal tinctures are meant to be self-regulating and are one of the safest herbal preparations. It's easy to adjust the dosage to your habits, constitution, and metabolism. The dosage of a tincture depends on your body type and weight and on the plant medicine itself. Tinctures should be shaken before use as some of them contain roots which are ground to extract the maximum strength of the herb.
Herbs work slowly, but deliberately in your system. One of the most important considerations is that continual use over time is the way natural medicines work, so maximum effectiveness is achieved by taking your tinctures daily for several continuous weeks. |
About Passiflora Herbal Medicine Sourcing
My ingredients are sourced through sustainable wildcrafting as well as buying from organic herbal companies for herbs I'm are unable to personally harvest and grow. By harvesting the bulk of my own plants, we connect with the plants themselves making our medicine even more potent.

I love visiting plants through the seasons, sitting with them, observing the land where they live, and absorbing the information I'd would never know by simply ordering them via the internet. This translates through the medicine I make and I believe you will notice a difference.
