Gentle Digest Tincture

Gentle Digest Tincture, formerly known as Colic Care, is a digestive aid for both children and adults. It is a natural, shelf stable, and effective alternative to the less effective "gripe water" and morning sickness remedies.  The herbal combination of Gentle Digest provides immediate relief and is useful for colic, reflux and other digestive complaints including indigestion, nausea, heartburn and gas. These same herbs have long been relied on by herbalists and mothers over the centuries to help soothe babies and help alleviate the pain and discomfort of teething as it is an effective pain-reliever and anti-inflammatory, while promoting relaxation and peaceful sleep. So, you can depend on Gentle Digest to help your little one through colic, teething, general fussiness, and more. Colic Care is effective for children and adults. *

-> PRINTABLE: HOW TO USE TINCTURES

We use only the highest quality herbs that are certified organic, holistically wild crafted, and never irradiated or sprayed with pesticides. 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.  Our herbs are tinctured in organic alcohol and fresh mountain water (free from harsh chemicals and fluoride treatments). This combination acts as a medicinal strength and holistically balanced 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 or may not absorb the needed constituents of capsules. We hand make these wonderful herbal preparations in small batches. Tinctures are poured off into dark glass bottles creating a great product with an optimally long shelf life. 

For Colic & Teething

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.
