GINKGO LEAF TINCTURE

Liquid Herbal Drops 2 OZ

--Ginkgo biloba--

PLEASE NOTE: A 2oz bottle delivers a comprehensive herbal journey.

Ginkgos, grand members of the Ginkgoaceae family, typically soar to heights of 20–35 m, with some Chinese specimens exceeding 50 m. Boasting an angular crown and resilient, snow-resistant branches, these deep-rooted trees evolve from slender youth to broad-crowned maturity. Come autumn, their leaves transition to a vibrant yellow before gracefully descending within a short span. Ginkgo branches extend via regularly spaced shoots, fostering "spur shoots" in subsequent growth years. Characterized by short, knobby internodes, these leaves, uniquely fan-shaped with dichotomous venation, cluster at shoot tips where reproductive structures form.

Dioecious in nature, Ginkgos exhibit separate sexes, with males producing small pollen cones bearing spirally arranged sporophylls. Females, devoid of cones, develop ovules that transform into seeds post-pollination. Noteworthy for disease resistance, insect-resistant wood, and the ability to form aerial roots, Ginkgos stand as enduring giants, some claiming ages surpassing 2,500 years. Aptly named "maidenhair tree" due to leaf resemblance to maidenhair fern pinnae, and labeled "biloba" for lobed leaf shape. Also known as "bal guo" and "maidenhair tree."

Ginkgo, hailed as a living fossil, stands as the world's oldest surviving tree species. Despite the extinction of every tree species during the last glacial age, a lone ginkgo tree in China endured. Testament to its resilience, ginkgo was the sole living specimen to withstand the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. With a rich history, ginkgo leaves are employed in crafting teas and liquid extracts. The dried leaves are frequently encapsulated as a dietary supplement, underscoring its enduring presence in various forms of traditional and contemporary use.

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 tinctures comprise 40%-80% Pure grain alcohol 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 tincture in a small amount of water or your chosen drink and consume it as a whole.

• For Younger Connoisseurs: If you're offering this tincture to individuals below 21 years, or for those sensitive to alcohol's bite, there are alternatives. You can either expose the tincture 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 tincture milder for consumption, Or Explore our range below for non-alcoholic tinctures and extract alternatives.
