About our tinctures:
Mayan Botanicals tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills. They are fast acting and last for years when stored properly. We pride ourselves on selling the highest quality tinctures available. We use only the finest, highest quality wild crafted herbs from the Belizean rainforest.
Mayan Botanical tinctures contain 45% certified organic cane alcohol, rather than what has become the industry standard of 30% or less (watch out for companies that list it as 50 proof, that just means it contains 25% alcohol). Alcohol ensures that each tincture is completely sterile and free of any bacteria, spores, or microbes.
The active compounds of the plants dissolve into the water and the alcohol, while the alcohol also acts as a preservative. This means your tincture will have a shelf life of at least a couple of years. Another benefit of tinctures is that they are absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly. This allows for starting with a small dose, gauging the strength of the effect, and increasing the dose if necessary.
We store our tinctures in amber brown glass Boston Round bottles with glass droppers.
Cautions: This is a strong powerful herb and it is probably best to avoid during pregnancy.
