Calming and Grounding Tincture | ANX-EASE

Tinctures are a key component of traditional herbal medicine and have been around for millennia. They are a concentration of herbal extracts made by soaking specific plants in alcohol for few weeks. The alcohol extracts the active ingredients in the plant parts, concentrating them in liquid form. Alcohol-based tinctures have virtually unlimited shelf life if stored in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration is not necessary.

Tinctures offer a concentrated herbal experience, providing higher doses of medicinal compounds than teas. They encompass a broader spectrum of medicinal compounds compared to teas, thanks to alcohol's superior extraction capabilities. Tinctures provide a convenient and efficient means of herbal consumption; no need for multiple cups of tea. Through the mucus glands in your mouth, tinctures offer swift absorption of medicinal compounds directly into your bloodstream. They're minimally processed, easy on digestion, and can initiate their effects within minutes, depending on the formulation. Tinctures bypass the digestive system, ensuring your body receives their benefits in seconds. When stored correctly, tinctures boast a long shelf life, lasting several years for your continued wellness.

Alcohol is essential to extract the medicianal properties out of the herbs. The dosage is typically 1-2/3ml of liquid and will not cause intoxication. 

All our products are packaged in amber glass to protect them from UV degradation. It is recommended to store them in a cool, dark place; there is no need to refrigerate. When stored properly, tinctures can last for 3-5 years or even longer.

Tinctures can be taken either by placing the liquid directly under the tongue and then swallowing it with water or by adding the liquid to a beverage like coffee, tea, juice, or water. Placing it under the tongue allows for faster absorption into the bloodstream, but both methods are equally effective.

No, you don't have to. While placing a tincture directly under the tongue offers the fastest absorption into the bloodstream, we understand that it can be too sensitive for some individuals. If this method isn't suitable for you, feel free to add the liquid to a small glass of water or juice and drink it. The benefits will be the same with both methods.

Our tinctures are carefully packaged in amber glass bottles fitted with dropper caps. These caps function similar to essential oil droppers, allowing you to control the release of drops by tilting the bottle. Unlike dropper pipettes, which have proven less reliable during international shipping with issues like leaks. Additionally, we've observed that using pipettes over time can lead to alcohol evaporation, potentially affecting the longevity of our tinctures. If you prefer, you can easily insert your own preferred dropper into our tincture bottles for added convenience.

Absolutely! We cultivate our plants on our organic farm nestled in the Baltic woods. Here, we strictly avoid the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or herbicides.

This ensures that you receive the purest gifts of nature, untouched by chemicals or human intervention.

Typically, we recommend allowing approximately 2-4 weeks of consistent use at the recommended dosage for noticeable effects. Please keep in mind that the timeline can vary depending on several factors, such as your individual health history, dietary habits, mindset, the specific plant(s) you're using, and more. Even if you don't observe immediate changes, rest assured that your body is undergoing an adaptation and response process. Patience is key, as some effects may take longer to become noticeable, while others might manifest more rapidly.
