Why does it contain alcohol? What kind? Is it safe for all ages?

Tinctures are an ancient practice that was created using a potent alcohol extraction.

Alcohol is a powerful yet safe solvent

Because of its ability to extract compounds and active ingredients that aren’t water-soluble, alcohol is a wonderful solvent for herbs. Essential oils, alkaloids and resins are just a few examples of herbs that other edible solvents just aren’t powerful enough to extract.

Alcohol is quickly absorbed by the body

Because alcohol enters the bloodstream rapidly, alcohol-based tinctures are very fast-acting. The cheeks and tongue contain many capillaries which absorb alcohol quickly. Therefore, when drops of a tincture are placed under the tongue, both the alcohol and the active ingredients it has extracted, immediately enter the bloodstream. In this way, they deliver the tincture’s healing properties where they are needed. This is unlike most other foods and liquids which are digested in the gut.

The preserving power of alcohol

As well as being a wonderful solvent, alcohol is a wonderful preservative. Using it in tinctures helps to give them a long shelf life. Most alcohol-based tinctures last at least 5-10 years.

Alcohol increases the potency of tinctures

Unlike teas, which use only water as a solvent, alcohol-based tinctures only require a small dose for any effect to be felt. This is because they are highly concentrated and potent. It is precisely because of this concentration that so little is needed, which means there will be next to no change in the blood alcohol content. In fact, even an overripe banana or fermented vegetables contain a similar amount of alcohol as a dose of an alcohol-based tincture.

What kind of alcohol is used in the tincture-making process?

Ours contains food grade grain alcohol. So think a vodka. Or a Sugar Cane alcohol.

Since each dosage of tincture is quite small (usually no more than 30 to 60 drops), the amount of alcohol consumed each dose is miniscule, and very quickly metabolized by the body.
