Organic: Raspberry Leaf, Rooibos, Rose Hips, Fennel, Marshmallow Root, Peppermint & Spearmint Leaves, & Lemon balm; steeped in organic grain alcohol
We use only the highest quality herbs that are certified organic, holistically wild crafted, and/or locally grown. We tincture using organic grain alcohol and filtered water, free from harsh chemicals. This combination acts as a carrier, bringing the needed remedy straight to the blood stream to work fast and effectively. Tinctures are absorbed in the mouth and stomach and bypass the slower intestinal system which may not absorb the needed constituents of capsules. We make our tinctures in small raw processed batches, and pour them off into amber glass bottes, creating a quality product with an optimally long shelf life. -> HOW TO USE TINCTURES
For Normal Adult Use
Follow the directions in the 'Details Tab".
For Colic & Teething
Gentle Digest, our colic and teething tincture, is an alcohol extracted tincture, and for good reason.
- Glycerin tinctures aren’t as potent or effective as an alcohol tincture. Alcohol works to penetrate the cell structure of the plant material, effectively extracting the constituents, where glycerine does a poor job of this, particularly when it comes to some plant species. Also, our cold extraction process, as opposed to a heat extraction process, helps maintain the full spectrum of the plant's constituents in the final product. When used as an extraction method, organic grain alcohol increases absorption without affecting blood sugar levels.
- A glycerin tincture is never a good thing when using it for anything tooth related. Glycerin coats the teeth like a wax and prevents remineralization and is not an effective choice for any treatment of oral conditions.
- Alcohol tinctures work faster and more effectively because they are absorbed in the mouth and stomach and bypass the slower intestinal system.
- Alcohol extracted tincture have a naturally longer are more shelf stable and have an extended shelf life.

A Family Tincture!
I love this tincture for the entire family whenever any of us have an upset stomach. It works great. I wish I had this when we had younger children for all those fussy days.

The whole package!
I first used this for morning sickness, then used it for colic, then teething. It works amazingly well for all of that and so much more. We have used it for motion sickness and for other nausea issues. Another great tincture, The Herbal Toad. Thank you.
