There are over 250 herbs included in this practice, and our tinctures feature the most dynamic of these herbs.
Methods of Use
There are a couple of different ways to use tinctures and receive all the benefits they offer.
Sublingually (under the tongue):
The most direct and common usage. Fill the dropper with the appropriate dose and squirt under your tongue, the cannabinoids are immediately absorbed through the arterial blood supply which leads to a more effective way of absorbing all its benefits.
Orally:
You can drop the tincture blend into a beverage or cup of hot tea.
The rule of thumb is to start with small doses, then proceed with more if desired effects are not reached. Our recommended dose is 1 ml.

What is a tincture?
A tincture is a concentrated liquid extract usually using alcohol as the solvent. Our tinctures are infused with other beneficial herbal extracts.
Why is taking the tincture sublingually the best method?
When the tincture is taken sublingually it enters directly into the bloodstream because of the veins under your tongue. The activation is much quicker.

Tinctures are another delivery method with fast activation time, precise dosage, and can be discreet.
