PLEASE NOTE: A 2oz bottle is optimal for experiencing the full benefits.

Description
Taraxacum officinale is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant of the Asteraceae family. It grows from generally unbranched taproots and produces one to more than ten stems that are typically 5 to 40 cm tall, but sometimes up to 70 cm tall. The stems can be tinted purplish, and produce flower heads that are as tall or taller than the foliage. The leaves are 5 to 45 cm long and 1 to 10 cm wide, and are oblanceolate, oblong, or obovate in shape, with the bases gradually narrowing to the petiole. The leaf margins are typically shallowly lobed to deeply lobed and often lacerate or toothed with sharp or dull teeth. The stems can be glabrous or sparsely covered with short hairs. Plants have milky latex and the leaves are all basal; each flowering stem lacks bracts and has one single flower head. The yellow flower heads lack receptacle bracts and all the flowers, which are called florets, are ligulate and bisexual. The florets number 40 to over 100 per head, having corollas that are yellow or orange-yellow. The fruits range in color from olive-green or olive-brown to straw-colored to grayish, they are oblanceolate in shape and 2 to 3 mm long with slender beaks. The fruits have 4 to 12 ribs that have sharp edges. The silky pappi, which form the parachutes, are white to silver-white and around 6 mm wide.

Can tinctures be taken at any time of the day?

Tinctures can be taken at various times, depending on their intended purpose, the specific herb or combination of herbs, and the recommendations of a healthcare professional. Here are some general guidelines regarding the timing of tincture consumption:

• With or Without Food: Some tinctures are better absorbed on an empty stomach, while others may be taken with food to minimize potential stomach upset. Always read the label or consult with a herbalist or healthcare provider.

• Time of Day: Certain tinctures may have effects that dictate when they should be taken. For instance, tinctures with calming or sleep-promoting herbs like valerian or chamomile might be best taken in the evening. Conversely, energizing or stimulating herbs might be better taken in the morning or early afternoon.

• Frequency: Depending on the purpose, some tinctures may be taken several times a day, while others might be taken once daily or even less frequently.

• Duration: Some tinctures can be taken for extended periods, while others are best used for shorter durations with breaks in between. For example, echinacea is often recommended for short-term use.

• Interactions with Medications: It's essential to consider potential interactions with medications. Some tinctures can interfere with the absorption, metabolism, or efficacy of certain drugs.

• Special Populations: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and individuals with specific health conditions or on certain medications should consult a healthcare professional before using tinctures.

• Absorption: Taking tinctures sublingually (under the tongue) can allow for quicker absorption into the bloodstream compared to swallowing.

• Alcohol Content: Most tinctures are alcohol-based, which helps extract the medicinal components of the herb and acts as a preservative. If someone avoids alcohol for personal, health, or religious reasons, they might look for alcohol-free tinctures or use other herbal preparations.

Administration Guidelines:

Our meticulously crafted non-alcohol Lemon Balm Extract features a base of pure grain alcohol ranging from 40% to 80% to ensure prolonged freshness and potency. Recognizing the sharpness of alcohol, here are some tips to make its consumption more palatable:

Direct Approach: Dispense the drops beneath the tongue for quick absorption and follow immediately with a drink of water, juice, or your preferred beverage to mask the taste.

Diluted Method:

Mix the non-alcohol Lemon Balm Extract in a small amount of water or your chosen drink and consume it as a whole.

For Younger Connoisseurs: If you're offering this non-alcohol extract to individuals below 21 years, or for those sensitive to alcohol's bite, there are alternatives. You can either expose the extract to air for a while or warm it gently, ensuring a very low heat setting. This process accelerates the evaporation of the alcohol (which vaporizes quicker than water), rendering the extract milder for consumption. Alternatively, explore our range for non-alcoholic tinctures and extract alternatives.
