Description Organic Burdock Root Tincture (Arctium lappa L.) This traditionally prepared liquid extract is made using organic burdock root, combined with organic ethanol and purified water to create a balanced 40% alcohol base. Burdock root has a long history of traditional use in Western herbalism and European folk practice. It has been commonly associated with seasonal cleansing rituals and general wellness traditions, and has often appeared in classic herbal formulas passed down through generations. You can learn more about burdock and it’s traditional uses here. This burdock root tincture is handcrafted in small batches using carefully sourced organic plant material, allowing time for the plant’s soluble constituents to be gently extracted. Each batch is bottled with care and clearly labelled for transparency and traceability. You can learn more about Burdock and it’s traditional uses throughout history in my herbal monograph here. Ingredients: Organic burdock root, organic ethanol and purified water (40% ABV). Safety Considerations: May cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to the Asteraceae family. How to use: Some people choose to take tinctures diluted in water or juice, while others prefer them straight or under the tongue – a method not for the faint-hearted, as the flavour can be quite intense. In his textbook Medical Herbalism (2003), David Hoffmann discusses burdock root tincture preparations traditionally taken in the range of 2-4 mL, three times daily. Dropper reference: One full dropperful of this tincture contains approximately 1 mL of liquid, which is equivalent to around 20 drops. Drop size may vary slightly.
