Understanding Mother Tinctures & Glycerines

Support your body's most important detoxification pathways with our Artichoke Leaf Tincture. This is a classic European "bitter tonic," revered for centuries as a powerhouse for the liver and digestive system.

Key Benefits & Uses:

Superior Digestive Aid: This is its #1 use. By promoting bile flow, Artichoke Leaf is exceptionally effective at helping the body digest fats. It's a "go-to" remedy for relieving that heavy, full feeling, indigestion, bloating, and gas, especially after a rich or fatty meal.

Natural Liver Support & Detox: A healthy bile flow is essential for liver health. This tincture helps support the liver's natural detoxification processes, allowing it to function optimally and flush out unwanted toxins.

Supports Healthy Cholesterol: This is its other major, well-researched benefit. The active compounds in Artichoke Leaf are traditionally used to help support the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels.


Skin Health: A happy, functioning liver is directly linked to clear, healthy skin. By supporting your body's detox pathways, this tincture can be a great support for a clear complexion.

Important Cautions:

Do NOT use if you have gallstones or a bile duct obstruction.

Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have allergies to the Asteraceae family (daisies, ragweed, marigolds).
