All eighteen botanicals
Most multi-herb formulas hide behind the words proprietary blend. Here is the entire list.
| Senna leaf | A traditional botanical, and one of the two reasons this is a short-term formula. |
| Cascara sagrada bark | Bark from the Pacific Northwest, long used in North American herbal practice. |
| Turkey rhubarb root | A classic of old formulary books. |
| Dandelion root | Roasted dandelion root has been a folk staple for as long as anyone has records of. |
| Echinacea angustifolia root | The narrow-leaf species, the one traditional preparations favoured. |
| Elderberries | The same berries we use in Soothe & Defend. |
| Mullein leaf | Soft grey leaves from a tall roadside plant. |
| Stinging nettle leaf | Harvested young, and harmless once prepared. |
| Licorice root | Sweetens the formula naturally. |
| Raspberry leaf | The leaf, not the fruit. |
| Cloves, cinnamon sticks, orange peel | The warming spices, added whole. |
| Thyme, parsley, rosemary, lavender, savory | Five kitchen garden herbs, which is exactly where this kind of formula came from. |
| Organic cane alcohol | The base. Alcohol extraction is the traditional method for a formula this complex. |
Intended for short-term use. Contains senna leaf and cascara sagrada. Take one dropper per day with a meal. Not intended for children, or for use during pregnancy or nursing. Consult your physician before use if you take any medication or manage a medical condition.
Questions about this tincture
What is a tincture?
Is this alcohol-free?
What is actually in it?
No proprietary blend. Most formulas this complex hide behind that phrase.
Is this a laxative?
It is intended for short-term use, not as an everyday supplement. We would rather say that plainly than leave you to work it out.
What are the side effects of cascara sagrada and senna?
If you notice cramping or discomfort, stop taking it. If anything persists, speak to your doctor.
How do I take it, and how much?
Who should not take this?
Do not use during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk to your doctor first if you take any prescription medication, have a digestive condition, or manage any health condition. Not intended for children.
How should I store it?
Where is it made?
What if it does not work for me?
Looking for something for daily use?
This one is built for short-term use, not every day. If you want something for a daily routine, our elderberry and mullein tincture shares three botanicals with this formula and is made for regular use.
Need to avoid alcohol? This one uses an organic cane alcohol base. Our alcohol-free ashwagandha tincture uses vegetable glycerin instead.
