Tinctures by Quick Reference Categories:
What is a tincture?
A tincture is a concentrated herbal extract made by soaking herbs in alcohol or a mixture of alcohol and water. This process extracts the active compounds of the plant, preserving their therapeutic properties. Tinctures are typically used as a form of herbal medicine because they are easy to take, have a long shelf life, and are potent, allowing small doses to provide significant health benefits.
How Tinctures are Made:
Herb Selection:
Fresh or dried herbs are chosen for their medicinal properties.
Extraction:
The herbs are placed in a glass jar and covered with alcohol, typically grain alchohol, brandy or vodka, which acts as a solvent. The herbs are left to soak for several weeks, with occasional shaking, to allow the alcohol to extract the plant’s active compounds.
Most tinctures are extracted at a 4:1 ratio (4 parts alcohol to 1 part plant material, Plant Prana Tinctures are extracted at a 2:1 ratio making them twice as potent)
Straining:
After the extraction period, the liquid is strained to remove solid plant matter, leaving the concentrated tincture.
Storage:
The tincture is then stored in dark glass bottles to protect it from light and preserve its potency.
Spagyric tinctures:
Spagyric Tinctures are a type of herbal extract that is prepared using multiple extraction methods to enhance their therapeutic potency. These methods include the use of alcohol, essential oils, CO2 extractions, resins, and ash (which is created by burning plant material into ash). The process of combining these various extraction techniques makes spagyric tinctures energetically more potent compared to standard tinctures. The additional steps of distilling essential oils, extracting plant resins, and incorporating the plant’s ash amplify the herbal properties, creating a more comprehensive and powerful remedy. This method is rooted in spagyric alchemy, which aims to balance the physical, energetic, and spiritual aspects of the plant to create a holistic therapeutic effect.
Body Tonics:
Body Tonics are herbal extracts made using a base of alcohol and witch hazel, which serve as a way to apply the active compounds from plants to the body. These tonics typically contain a combination of tinctures, essential oils, and sometimes minerals. They are applied topically to the body or specific areas of the body to promote physical healing, psychological healing, and spiritual well-being. Body tonics are often used in alternative healing practices to support overall health, relieve physical discomfort, enhance mental clarity, and facilitate spiritual growth. The combination of plant-based ingredients and minerals helps to nourish, balance, and restore the body, mind, and spirit.
Benefits of Tinctures:
Concentration:
Tinctures are highly concentrated, meaning a small dose can be effective.
Ease of Use:
They are portable, easy to store, and simple to administer, often added to water or taken directly.
Long Shelf Life:
Alcohol helps preserve the tincture for long periods, sometimes several years, without losing potency.

Thieves Immune Support: Hybrid of original Four Thieves Herbal Remedy and Immune Support
“The story goes that this formula was revealed in the 17th century by four corpse-robbers caught red-handed during the time of the great plagues of Toulouse (1628–1631). Their disregard for the contagion thoroughly astonished the judges . . . The archives of the Parliament of Toulouse record that: “During the great plague, four robbers were convicted of going to the houses of plague-victims, strangling them in their beds and then looting their dwellings: for this they were condemned to be burned at the stake, and in order to have the sentence mitigated they revealed their secret preservative.
The herbs traditionally associated with Four Thieves Vinegar are believed to offer various therapeutic benefits. There have been many variations of the Four Thieves blend, but here we see the recipe that is still on file.
The original recipe was as follows:
– a handful each of wormwood, meadowsweet, juniper berries, wild marjoram and sage
– 50 cloves
– 2 ounces of elecampane root
– 2 ounces of angelica
– 2 ounces of rosemary
– 2 ounces of horehound
– 3g camphor
This original recipe is made as an extraction in a 2:1 ratio (2 parts alcohol to one part herb). Most extractions are made at a 4:1 ratio which makes our tincture twice as potent. We then add our most potent antiviral blend of essential oils to make for a incredibly strong Body Tonic for prevention, recovery, or treatment for immune illnesses.

Clinical Corner: Arthritis
Arthritis
Arthritis
1. Increasing the body’s production of cortisone
Cortisone, a type of corticosteroid, is commonly used to treat arthritis due to its potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Here are the primary benefits of cortisone for arthritis:
Reduces Inflammation: Cortisone significantly decreases inflammation in the joints, which is a major cause of pain and stiffness in arthritis. By reducing inflammation, it helps to improve joint function and mobility.
Pain Relief: Cortisone injections can provide rapid pain relief. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with severe arthritis pain that does not respond well to other treatments.
Decreases Swelling: By reducing inflammation, cortisone also helps to decrease swelling in the affected joints, which can improve the range of motion and overall joint function.
Improves Mobility: With reduced pain and swelling, individuals often experience improved mobility and a better quality of life. This can make daily activities easier and more manageable.
Reduces Need for Oral Medications: By providing significant localized relief, cortisone can reduce the need for oral anti-inflammatory medications, which can have gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects with long-term use.
Adjunct to Physical Therapy: The pain relief and reduction in inflammation provided by cortisone can make it easier for patients to participate in physical therapy and exercise, which are important components of arthritis management.
Types of Arthritis Treated with Cortisone:
Osteoarthritis: Cortisone can help manage the symptoms of osteoarthritis, particularly in weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Cortisone can be used to control acute flare-ups of rheumatoid arthritis, providing relief from severe joint pain and inflammation.
Gouty Arthritis: Cortisone can help manage the intense pain and inflammation associated with gout attacks.
Psoriatic Arthritis: Patients with psoriatic arthritis may also benefit from cortisone to control joint inflammation and pain.
Single Oil: Sylvester Pine
Apply 3-4 drops on the wrists 2x daily
2. Spurs, Deposits, and Joint Toxicity
In arthritis, two common complications are the formation of deposits and bone spurs. These developments can exacerbate pain and contribute to reduced joint function. Here’s a detailed explanation of each:
Types of Deposits:
Uric Acid Crystals (Gout): In gout, a type of inflammatory arthritis, excess uric acid in the blood crystallizes and deposits in the joints, particularly in the big toe, causing severe pain and inflammation.
Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate (CPPD) Crystals (Pseudogout): These calcium deposits form in the cartilage and can lead to sudden, painful swelling in the joints, resembling gout but caused by different crystal deposits.
Calcium Hydroxyapatite (Hydroxyapatite Deposition Disease): This condition involves the deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in the tendons, bursae, and joint capsules, leading to pain and inflammation.
Causes:
Metabolic Disorders: Conditions like hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) can lead to crystal deposition.
Genetic Factors: Some people have a genetic predisposition to develop these deposits.
Aging: The likelihood of crystal deposition increases with age.
Joint Damage: Previous joint injury or wear-and-tear can contribute to the formation of these deposits.
Effects and Implications:
Joint Pain and Swelling: Deposits cause inflammation, leading to pain, redness, and swelling in the affected joints.
Reduced Mobility: The inflammation and pain can restrict joint movement, making daily activities difficult.
Chronic Joint Damage: Repeated episodes of inflammation can lead to long-term joint damage and deformity.
Single Oils: Lovage Leaf, Lovage Root, Eucalyptus Citriodora
Blends: Arthricare
Apply to the affected area as a body tonic 2x a day
3. Decrease spasms, inflammation, Pain, and increase flow of blood and lymph
Joint Pain and Inflammation: Chronic pain and inflammation can lead to muscle tension and spasms around the affected joints as the body attempts to protect and stabilize the area.
Altered Movement Patterns: Arthritis can cause changes in gait and posture, leading to muscle overuse and spasms in compensating muscle groups.
Nerve Compression: Swollen joints or bone spurs can compress nearby nerves, leading to muscle spasms and cramping.
Effects and Implications:
Increased Pain: Muscle spasms add to the overall pain experienced by arthritis patients, compounding their discomfort.
Reduced Mobility: Spasms can restrict movement and make it difficult to perform daily activities, worsening the patient’s quality of life.
Sleep Disturbances: Painful muscle spasms, especially at night, can disrupt sleep and lead to fatigue.
Blends: Joint Relief, Osteoarthritis
Apply ointment to affected areas 2x daily
4. Inflammation
Turmeric, particularly its active compound curcumin, has been extensively studied for its potential benefits in managing arthritis. Here are some of the key benefits of turmeric for arthritis:
Curcumin: The primary bioactive substance in turmeric, curcumin, has potent anti-inflammatory effects. It works by inhibiting various molecules that play a role in inflammation, such as cytokines and enzymes like COX-2, which are involved in the inflammatory process.
Analgesic Effects: Turmeric can help reduce pain associated with arthritis. Studies have shown that curcumin can be as effective as some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in reducing arthritis pain without the side effects.
Free Radical Scavenging: Turmeric has strong antioxidant properties, which help neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals can cause oxidative stress and damage to cells, contributing to inflammation and joint damage in arthritis.
Cartilage Protection: Curcumin has been shown to protect cartilage from degradation. This is particularly beneficial for osteoarthritis, where cartilage breakdown is a primary issue.
Regulation of Immune Responses: Turmeric can help modulate the immune system, which is beneficial for autoimmune forms of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis. It can reduce the autoimmune response that leads to joint inflammation and damage.
Reduction in Stiffness: By reducing inflammation and pain, turmeric can improve joint flexibility and mobility, making it easier for individuals with arthritis to perform daily activities.
