A Restorative Herbal Tincture of Baikal Skullcap, Rhodiola & Elderflower
Recovery Tincture is a concentrated herbal tincture for the later stages of a cold or seasonal illness and the days of recovery that follow. Baikal skullcap, rhodiola and elderflower are blended with nine further herbs, made as a whole-herb liquid extract.
The Herbs
Recovery Tincture brings together three groups of herbs traditionally used after illness. Respiratory herbs help clear lingering congestion and soothe irritated airways. Restorative herbs rebuild strength and a balanced immune response. Digestive herbs support appetite and nourishment. Together they make a blend for the days of getting back to full strength.
To Clear
Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis): Traditionally used to support a balanced inflammatory response in the respiratory system, helping clear congestion and soothe irritated tissues.
Elderflower (Sambucus nigra): Traditionally used to relax and decongest the airways, and to soothe lingering respiratory discomfort after illness.
Elecampane (Inula helenium): A warming root prized for helping clear catarrh, with traditional anti-inflammatory support for the lungs and airways.
Linden Blossom (Tilia cordata): Traditionally used to clear catarrh and ease dry, irritating coughs, and to soothe the restlessness and mild headaches of recuperation.
To Restore
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea): A potent adaptogen long used to restore physical strength, mental sharpness and concentration during periods of depletion.
Bupleurum (Bupleurum chinense): Used for centuries to support a balanced immune and inflammatory response, and to soothe respiratory irritation during recovery.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis): Traditionally used to support the lymphatic system and soothe the mucous membranes of the respiratory and digestive tracts.
Wild Indigo (Baptisia tinctoria): Traditionally used to support the body through periods of seasonal respiratory challenge.
Nettle Root (Urtica dioica): Traditionally valued for supporting a balanced immune response and helping the body recover after illness.
To Nourish
Sweet Wormwood (Artemisia annua): Traditionally used to support a balanced immune response, and as a bitter tonic to help digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Renowned for its moistening, soothing effect on sore and scratchy throats.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum): A warming bark traditionally used to lift fatigue, support circulation and help digestion during recovery.
Why a Tincture?
Unlike tablets or capsules, a liquid tincture delivers whole-herb extracts in a form that is readily absorbed and easy to fit into a daily routine.
Each batch of Recovery Tincture is made by slowly extracting the whole herbs, drawing out and preserving a broad spectrum of their natural compounds, including volatile oils and phytonutrients. The finished tincture captures the full character of each plant.
