What this category is

Liquid extracts of plants, in a dropper or pump.

A tincture is a concentrated liquid made by steeping herbs in a solvent such as alcohol or glycerin. The category is broad, family-oriented, and rooted in traditional herbalism rather than any single claim.

Plant-based

Formulas are built around herbs — roots, leaves, and flowers — often combined for a specific traditional use.

Liquid & fast to take

Drops or a pump go under the tongue or into water. Many people prefer liquids for their convenience.

Made for routines

Some are positioned for occasional moments, others for daily routines. Labels and formulators describe the intended use.
