Herbal Tinctures

Scientific Name: Berberis thunbergii 
Barberry is a thorny shrub with small, oval leaves and flowers ripening into oblong, red berries. The berries hand from the underside of the stems, often staying attached through the winter.

This handcrafted tincture starts with fresh Japanese Barberry sustainably harvested from a chemical free environment. The tincture is macerated in small batches to ensure the best quality. This is made from all parts of the Barberry plant (root, berries and stems), thus the color may vary depending on the number of berries in the batch. 

After macerating, the tincture is then double filtered to remove any sediment.

Our Hoosier Yarrow is harvested from private land and open grasslands away from farm fields to prevent insecticide and herbicide exposure. It is foraged and dried in small batches. Only plants that are healthy-looking and thriving are taken to ensure the highest quality. Also, there is plenty left behind to ensure that each plant can continue to thrive.

 Scientific name: Achillea millefolium

 Description: Yarrow is a flowering perennial, common in North America but native to Europe and Asia. Also called milfoil, its leaves are fern-like in appearance. Very delicate, the leaves resemble feathers. Yarrow grows stalks during the summer months. During dry years, stalk growth may be stunted, only growing 12-24 inches. Clusters of tiny white flowers grow atop the stalks, emitting a distinctive and characteristic aroma.

In addition to its ability to staunch bleeding, yarrow contains beneficial antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that are also highly beneficial for wound care.
