Supporting Your Return to Wellbeing
Recovery Tincture is a high-potency botanical formula designed to nurture the body through the recuperation process, supporting the body's natural recovery while helping to clear lingering congestion and restore vitality. Following seasonal illness or periods of respiratory compromise, the body often remains in a depleted state characterised by stubborn congestion, lingering inflammation, and persistent fatigue. Our Medical Herbalists have crafted this concentrated liquid extract as an essential restorative tool to support your body's natural recovery and immune function.
By combining traditionally valued anti-inflammatory herbs such as Baikal Skullcap and Bupleurum with the adaptogenic, energy-supporting properties of Rhodiola, this whole-plant formula works comprehensively to soothe irritated respiratory tissues and support the body's natural detoxification processes. Whether you are experiencing the "foggy" feeling of post-illness fatigue or residual congestion that simply won't shift, Recovery Tincture provides gentle botanical support to help you regain your natural vitality.
Recovery does not always end when the illness has passed. Recovery Tincture is designed to become your bridge back to wellbeing, supporting your body's gradual return to strength, resilience and everyday energy while helping you move beyond the lingering effects of illness.

Respiratory Support & Decongestion
To help the body manage the lingering inflammation and mucus that can persist following seasonal illness, we utilise herbs traditionally valued for their ability to soothe and decongest the respiratory tract.
Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis): A valued traditional herb used to support a balanced inflammatory response within the respiratory system. It also supports the body's natural detoxification processes, helping to clear congestion and soothe irritated respiratory tissues.
Elderflower (Sambucus nigra): Traditionally used to help relax and decongest the airways. Its antimicrobial properties make it especially useful for soothing irritated respiratory tissues and helping the body manage lingering respiratory discomfort following seasonal illness.
Elecampane (Inula helenium): A warming root prized for its ability to help clear catarrh (mucus) while providing traditional anti-inflammatory support to the lungs and bronchi.
Linden Blossom (Tilia cordata): A soothing herb traditionally used to clear catarrh and ease dry, irritating coughs. It also acts as a gentle nervine—a herb that supports, strengthens, and nourishes the nervous system—helping to ease the tension, restlessness, and mild headaches often experienced during recuperation.
Immune Resilience & Vitality
Recovery is not simply about clearing lingering symptoms; it is also about rebuilding the strength and vitality that illness can deplete.
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea): A potent adaptogen—a class of herbs traditionally used to help the body manage the physical and mental effects of stress. It has long been used to support the body's natural resilience while helping restore physical strength, mental acuity, and concentration during periods of depletion.
Bupleurum (Bupleurum chinense): Traditionally used for centuries to support the body's natural inflammatory response and a balanced immune function, while helping to soothe respiratory tract irritation during recovery.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis): A gentle herb traditionally used to support the lymphatic system, helping the body naturally eliminate waste products while soothing the mucous membranes of both the respiratory and digestive tracts.
Wild Indigo (Baptisia tinctoria): Traditionally used to support the body during periods of seasonal respiratory challenge.
Nettle Root (Urtica dioica): Rich in naturally occurring polysaccharides and the lectin UDA, it is traditionally valued for supporting a balanced immune response and helping the body recover following illness.
Digestive & Systemic Recovery
Periods of illness can often disrupt the body's natural balance. These botanicals have traditionally been used to support digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall vitality during recovery.
Sweet Wormwood (Artemisia annua): Traditionally used to support a balanced immune response and healthy inflammatory processes. It also acts as a bitter tonic to support digestion and the efficient absorption of nutrients.
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Renowned for its moistening and soothing effect on irritated, sore, and scratchy throats. It has also traditionally been used to support the adrenal glands, which play an important role in the body's natural response to physical stress.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum): A warming, invigorating bark traditionally used to lift fatigue and support healthy circulation. It also supports digestion and helps maintain the gut lining, encouraging efficient absorption of the nutrients needed during recovery.

To complement the benefits of our Recovery Tincture and support your body's natural return to wellbeing, our Medical Herbalists recommend the following restorative practices:
Prioritise Metabolic Rest
Your body's healing is most effective during sleep. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality rest each night. During the day, consider incorporating periods of "micro-rest"—simply lying down and closing your eyes for 10 minutes—to allow your nervous system to focus its energy on growth, repair, and recovery.
Nutritional Foundations for Recovery
Following illness, the body is often left in a depleted state. Focus on easily assimilated, nutrient-dense foods. Prioritise protein-rich bone broths (or nourishing vegetable equivalents) that provide amino acids, the building blocks needed for tissue repair and immune function.
Aim to include zinc-rich foods such as pumpkin seeds and selenium-rich foods such as Brazil nuts, as these important micronutrients help support a healthy and resilient immune system.
Hydration for Respiratory Health
Lingering congestion is often aggravated by thick, stagnant mucus. Sip room-temperature water regularly throughout the day to help keep respiratory secretions moving. Infusing your water with fresh ginger and lemon can provide gentle botanical support while helping to maintain healthy hydration.
Gentle Steam Inhalation
To help loosen stubborn congestion, consider gentle steam inhalation. Add a few drops of an appropriate essential oil to hot water and carefully inhale the vapours beneath a towel to help open the airways and encourage easier breathing.
Supporting the Gut–Immune Connection
Illness can disrupt both digestion and the balance of the gut microbiome. Try to limit heavily processed foods, refined sugars, and excessive dairy if you find these increase congestion.
Instead, focus on warm, lightly cooked meals such as steamed vegetables, root vegetable mashes, and nourishing soups. These foods are generally easier to digest, allowing your body to devote more of its energy towards recovery rather than digestion.
