Another fantastic treat provided by the North Woods of Minnesota! Wild plums and pink knotweed come together for a tasty anti-inflammatory tincture.

I used the plums to mask the slightly bitter flavor of the knotweed blossoms. Extra antioxidants never hurt.

The knotweed has been used for centuries in traditional ethnomedicines as an anti-inflammatory remedy. It helps ease the aches of arthritis in small joints; fingers, toes, wrists, feet. Not only the aches and pains, but it also helps with the swollen, inflamed joints as it is a natural diuretic.

This won't bring much relief to deeper joints such as the hips and back. You are better off trying a different product if that is where your pains are.

This tincture should not be used if you are pregnant or breast feeding as there have been no long-term clinical studies.

If you are on blood thinners which require a frequent INR draw such as Coumadin, you should consult with your doctor prior to use as there is natural vitamin K in knotweed and it can have a small effect on your INR blood results.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me with them.

Your tincture will arrive via USPS.

Your tincture should remain in the amber vial that it is shipped in. You can store it at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, or you can keep it refrigerated if you prefer chilled drops.

Your tincture can be taken directly from the glass eye dropper vial, or you can dilute it in your favorite beverages.
