Why Herbal Glycerins?

Herbal glycerins (glycerites) are gentle, sweet, and alcohol-free, making them ideal for all ages and sensitive stomachs. They preserve the potency of herbs while hydrating and supporting the body, particularly the nervous system. Versatile and easy to use, glycerites can be consumed directly, added to teas, or used in cooking, offering a family-friendly alternative to traditional tinctures.
