Tinctures & Salves FAQs

We typically hold an end‑of‑season sale where all of our products are available in person, first‑come, first‑served. It’s a great chance to browse everything we’ve made throughout the year, and I’m always there to answer questions and help you choose what you’ll love.

After the event, you’re welcome to reach out with orders. I’m happy to set items aside for you to pick up at your convenience. At this time, we do not offer delivery or shipping. As our business grows and becomes more established, we plan to revisit the idea of shipping in the future.

Tinctures & Salves are $15

Oils $20

Tinctures and salves are traditional herbal preparations made to extract and preserve the beneficial properties of medicinal plants. We make all of our remedies in small batches using herbs grown in our raised beds or sourced from Bulk Apothecary when needed. 

We follow trusted herbalism resources such as The Herbal Academy, The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, and established herbal reference texts to ensure our methods are safe, effective, and rooted in long‑standing practice.

Tinctures are concentrated liquid extracts made by steeping herbs in alcohol or another solvent. The alcohol pulls out the plant’s active compounds, preserves them, and creates a shelf‑stable remedy that stays potent for years. Because tinctures are concentrated, only small amounts are needed, usually a few drops or a small, measured dose. They’re commonly taken under the tongue or added to water, tea, or juice.

Salves are topical herbal preparations made by infusing herbs into oil and then thickening that oil with beeswax. The infusion process gently extracts the plant’s beneficial properties over time, and the beeswax creates a smooth, spreadable balm. Salves are used externally on the skin for soothing, moisturizing, or supporting specific areas of the body depending on the herbs used.

Both tinctures and salves rely on solvent extraction — alcohol extracts water‑soluble and alcohol‑soluble compounds, while oils extract fat‑soluble compounds. This is why different herbal preparations serve different purposes. Alcohol-based tinctures preserve herbs long‑term and deliver fast absorption, while oil-based salves work best for topical support.
