Ashwagandha tincture, organic

This tincture is made from high quality, organic Ashwagandha root (Withania somnifera) from a local organic farm. I tincture this root using organic 190 proof cane alcohol and distilled water. I currently offer both a 1:5 dry root tincture and a 1:2 fresh root tincture. If you have a preference, please let me know.

Please note:
I have eliminated all descriptions of how the various plants could be useful to you. These were all considered to be in the realm of "making medical claims" and Etsy is forbidding it. So, please do your own research and/or consult with a qualified practitioner to decided which plant remedy (or remedies) might be best for you.

There is an excellent and comprehensive article by Rosalee de la Foret on her website herbalremediesadvice.org.

Energetically, Ashwagandha is considered warming and drying.

ABOUT TINCTURE DOSING:
The recommended dosing on my various tinctures is based on a review of herbal literature and recommendations made by many top herbalists in this country and abroad. It is important, however, to keep in mind that every person is unique and will therefore interact with the plant medicine in a unique way. You may experience a desired effect at a much lower dosage or you may need a bit more than the recommended amount. I invite you to tune in to your body and notice what is needed and helpful.
I do not sell tinctures from plants that are considered "low dose" herbs, where more than a few drops could cause unpleasant effects. However, you should always immediately discontinue any herb that is having unwanted effects in your body.


____________________________

All my tinctures are hand made in small batches.

I obtain most of the herbs by growing them organically in my garden or wildcrafting them in a sustainable manner from the mountains and meadows near my Portland, Oregon home. I grow and harvest all plants and prepare all medicine in a prayerful and mindful manner. When wildcrafting, plants are always approached with a respectful prayer and a tobacco offering. I believe that in this way good relations are built and maintained between myself and the plants. This translates into a more powerful medicine and is my small contribution to the healing of the rift between Human and Earth.
If I find myself needing to buy an herb I only purchase certified organic herbs from reliable sources. I use only 100% organic 190 proof grain or cane alcohol in the tincturing process.
I list my tinctures in 1 oz and 2 oz quantities. Please contact me to arrange a larger quantity and discount pricing if available. Because of the small batch production larger quantities may be limited to supply on hand until the next harvest.
