Lemon Balm Tincture is our favorite anti-viral herb! Because of the tannins and other polyphenols, Lemon Balm is thought to discourage certain viruses, rendering them unable to infect the body and spread, and is therefore our number one choice to treat cold sores and shingles.

High Quality Standards
We use only the highest quality herbs that are certified organic, or holistically wild crafted. We use 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.
