FAQ's
Q: What is a tincture?
A: A tincture is a herbal preparation where the fresh or dried herb is steeped in alcohol for at least one month. The alcohol draws out the medicinal properties of the herb. After a month or more, the liquid is separated from the plant material, usually using a tincture press, and the resulting liquid is the tincture.
Q: How quickly should I see results with herbal medicine?
A: This really depends on what condition we're treating and how we go about treating it. Results may take up to a year depending on how long the condition has been around for and how complicated the pathophysiology is.
Q: Is herbal medicine safe?
A: Herbal medicine can be very safe when taken under the supervision of a Registered Herbalist. Some herbs interact with certain pharmaceutical drugs, however a Registered Herbalist is trained to take all of this into account when developing your individualized formula. Self medicating with herbs may cause unwanted effects if you aren't aware of all the actions of a particular herb.
