Tinctures/Liniments
Tinctures (concentrated extract) are either glycerin, vodka or brandy
based. Glycerin based tinctures are an effective non-alcohol alternative
to alcohol based tinctures. *Alcohol based tincures are currently
unavailable * They take at least two weeks to make so expect delays.
Liniments are based on rubbing alcohol or witch hazel - external use only.
Tinctures and liniments are typically 4 oz. $6.
