Red Root Tincture - Made from Wild Harvested Root right here in the Appalachian Mountains
Red Root Tincture,
Ceanothus americana,
When it comes to tinctures, quality is essential. Although we appreciate the ancient folklore methods for Red Root extract preparations (soaking the herbs in alcohol for long periods of time), as well as percolation methods, they can fall short of professional lab extractions. Our Red Root tinctures are professionally prepared in our lab setting using the soxhlet extractor method.
Soxhlet extraction is a type of atmospheric liquid extraction, utilizing temperature and low pressures (ambient pressure), for the selected extract.
Soxhlet extraction is a professional, conventional technique, providing the highest recovery of valuable plant material.
Our Red Root extracts are double extracted with alcohol and water to obtain all of the useful plant material.
Preferred by some, you can use the product directly from the dropper,
or, if you find that to be a bit overwhelming (which many do)
simply mix in with your coffee, teas, smoothies or water.
NOTE: Excessive squeezing of the dropper ball is not necessary. When the dropper is squeezed once, it will only pull up a 1ml serving into the glass dropper. That is how servings are measured. 1 Squeeze = 1ml
Red Root Extract: 1-5 Ratio
Other Ingredients: Alcohol 30-35%, Water
No Fillers, Non GMO, Gluten Free
Average uses per ounce: 15-30
Important notes concerning tinctures - Tincture ratios can be confusing!
A 1-5 ratio is standard for mushrooms and herbs. There are times when lower menstruum to herb ratios can be beneficial, although many times it is counter productive, and unfortunately it is being used as a marketing tactic. The standard 1-5 or 1-4 higher alcohol ratios have stood the test of time and are usually needed to properly extract the herb. The alcohol can only hold so much material before it is saturated. At the saturation point, you need more alcohol to continue pulling out the plant material . So in short, lower ratios will not always mean a superior product.
A little bit about this amazing herb -
Making Organic Red Root Tea, extracts and essential oil are the most common uses for this amazing herb. Organic Red Root Powder, or cut root, can be made into tincture, extract and salves. If one doesn't prefer Red Root Tincture or Tea, the Red Root Powder can be used to make capsules or pills.
Red root, a member of the Buckthorn family, has a number of common names such as wild snowball, Mountain Lilac, Redshank, Desert Buckthorn and New Jersey tea. The Red Root wild herb is native to Eastern North America.
The root is used in a variety of herbal preparations, although the leaf and flower are harvested for herbal use as well.
The red root extract also yields a red dye, hence its common name.
Red Root is a very bitter herb. Many herbalists will suggest mixing Wild Harvested or Organic Red Root with more pleasant tasting admixture plants such as Green Tea, Burdock, Chamomile, etc, or simply add organic honey to better suit your taste!
