Echinacea and Elderberry Tonic 100ml

Our Winter Tonic has now been renamed Echinacea & Elderberry Tonic. New name but same great formulation!

A tincture is typically an extract of a plant made using ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and they are taken internally with a little water or fruit juice. Tinctures are favoured by most herbalists when making up herbal mixtures for patients and are believed to present the herbs in the most available form for absorption by the body. The many herbalists who grow their own herbs generally make tinctures with the fresh herb as it has a wider range of constituents by including any lost during the drying process.

Made with fresh Echinacea from our Herefordshire herb farm and blended with Black Elderberry juice and soothing Acacia honey. Famously, Echinacea provides natural nutritional support for the body’s immunity, especially during the cold and flu season. Black Elderberry is an ancient winter hedgerow remedy, whose ability to support the body’s immune system has now been widely researched.

Most Herbfarmacy tinctures are made with fresh herbs grown on our farm (or locally), except for Milk Thistle which uses dried seeds grown in Europe as no-one is currently growing it organically in the UK.

Our tinctures are bottled here on the farm and are useful as food supplements offering support for various body systems.
