Single Herb Tinctures
Herbal tinctures are a liquid solution of herbs and alcohol. The herbs in our Single Herb Tinctures are always harvested with respect and care at their peak seasonal potency and processed in small batches. Tinctures are produced with pharmaceutical grade organic cane spirits according to standard tincturing ratios. They are infused for one complete lunar cycle in glass jars and are then pressed and bottled.

About: Yerba Santa forms large stands in the wild in chaparral habitats in subsequent years following wildfire. We respectfully harvest from these beautiful stands in spring prior to or right at flowering when the resinous leaves are at their peak potency and tincture them fresh in organic cane alcohol.

It can reduce symptoms associated with sinus secretions, while also acting as an expectorant on the lower respiratory system.
