Questions about Products

  • I tend to stock up on tinctures when they go on sale. I have always wondered if they have a shelf life expiration and if they will be just as potent when I use them months later. 


  • @charleen Great question! The typical shelf life for an alcohol based tincture is around 3-5 years or even up to 10 years if stored correctly. Proper storage is in a cool, dark place. Make sure the lid is secure! They will keep their potency as long as the color remains about the same as when you bought it. Use code heal5 for 5% off your next purchase!

  • I have a question regarding Ashwagandha Tincture and Serum. I read recently that one should take a break from using ashwagandha every few weeks. Is that something that should be done with your tinctures and serums? if so, do you have a recommended time frame to use and take a break?

     


  • @charleen Aloha Charleen - That's a great question. With Ashwagandha tincture it is advised to take a break to allow your body to integrate the herbs and also so it doesn't build up a tolerance to it. I have taken 5-10 drops everyday and used up the bottle in about a month. Then I take a break until I feel like I need it again. Usually about 2-3 months later. That is what works for me, but everyone is different and so it's best to listen to your own body. 

    Here is a good protocol to follow when choosing how long to take Ashwagandha tincture.

    • Short-term cycle: Use for 4 to 8 weeks, followed by a break of an equal or slightly longer duration.
    • Medium-term cycle: Take for 2 to 3 months, then pause for 2 to 4 weeks.
    • Long-term cycle: Some people take it for up to 6 months, then take a break for one to four weeks before resuming. 

    The Serum you can use everyday. It is topical and so the absorption will be minimal enough that it is safe to use consistently. I do like to take a break and use other serums though so I can nourish my skin with different herbs. Tulsi Serum is my favorite. 

    I hope this helps!
