TINCTURES YOU CAN TRUST
From the selection of each plant to its preparation and extraction, every stage matters.
Know the plant. Know where it comes from. Know what goes into the bottle.
WHAT IS A TINCTURE?
Tinctures are concentrated liquid botanical extracts, traditionally prepared by soaking plants in alcohol and water. This process draws out and preserves a range of naturally occurring plant compounds in a convenient liquid form.
From the selection of each plant to its preparation and extraction, every stage matters. Our experience across viticulture, winemaking, distillation and botanical extraction informs our approach. We choose grape-derived alcohol for our extraction process, not simply as an ingredient, but as part of our commitment to slow traditional extraction methods and considered contemporary preparation. Each botanical is individually prepared, with the extraction process selected according to its unique characteristics.
The effects of each tincture can vary according to the plant, preparation, concentration, dose, duration of use and the individual taking them. More is not necessarily better. For this reason, we believe botanical extracts should be approached thoughtfully - particularly when they are being considered for a specific health concern or used over an extended period.
We recommend you choose products informed by your personal research and advice from a qualified herbalist or healthcare professional. Whichever approach you choose, we provide clear information about botanical ingredients, extract preparation, recommended dose and safe use.
Plants contain complex natural compounds. We process them with care to preserve their natural properties.

BOTANICALS DESERVE RESPECT
Plants contain a remarkable diversity of naturally occurring compounds.
Their effects can vary according to the plant, preparation, concentration, dose, duration of use and the individual taking them. More is not necessarily better.
For this reason, we believe botanical extracts should be approached thoughtfully — particularly when they are being considered for a specific health concern or used over an extended period.
THE SIMPLIST — SINGLE-PLANT BOTANICAL TINCTURES
The Simplist provides carefully prepared single-plant botanical extracts for people who have been advised to use a particular botanical by a suitably qualified health professional.
We supply the extract. Your practitioner provides the advice.
We do not recommend individual botanicals for particular medical conditions or provide personalised advice about dose, duration of use, contraindications or interactions with medicines.
If you take prescription medicines, have an existing medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are considering ongoing use of a botanical extract, seek advice from an appropriately qualified health professional before use.
THE WISDOM FIELD — CONSIDERED BOTANICAL COMBINATIONS
Some botanical traditions have long combined several plants rather than relying upon a single botanical.
The Wisdom Field explores this approach through carefully considered combinations of three to five botanicals, informed by documented traditional formulation practices and contemporary knowledge of the plants and their constituents.
Each formulation has a clearly defined purpose.
Selected plants. Considered combinations. Thoughtful use.
