How this tincture is made
We extract in sequence: high-proof ethanol, then a lower-strength bridge, then water, so each class of compound is drawn out in turn. What remains is reduced to its mineral salts and returned to the tincture. Separated, purified, reunited.
Before use
Contains alcohol (24% ABV). Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for those under 18. If you are taking medication, including anticoagulants, or are due to have surgery, consult a healthcare professional before use. Store out of direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
