Bronchial Support Tincture
Bronchial Support Tincture, Echinacea Herb, Garlic Bulb, Umckaloabo Root
Bronchial Support Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of three herbs extracted together: the flowering herb of the purple coneflower, the garlic bulb, and the dark root of a South African geranium known as umckaloabo. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product with several important cautions - please read the safety information below before use.
- Echinacea, herb - Echinacea purpurea aerial parts (Asteraceae) - the herb, not the root
- Garlic, bulb - Allium sativum bulb (Amaryllidaceae)
- Umckaloabo, root - Pelargonium sidoides root (Geraniaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced botanicals (echinacea from the USA, garlic from India, umckaloabo from Lesotho). Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Echinacea herb - the leaf, stem and drooping pink-petaled flower of the purple coneflower of the North American prairie, gathered in bloom. The root of the same plant is a separate preparation, used in our Ginseng and Echinacea blend.
- Garlic bulb - the familiar kitchen bulb, cultivated for at least five thousand years; the dried clove is used here.
- Umckaloabo root - the thick, dark, tuberous root of Pelargonium sidoides, a small wild geranium with maroon flowers from the grasslands of South Africa and Lesotho. The name comes from Zulu; it is also called South African geranium, and it is a different plant from the scented pelargoniums of window boxes.
Why a tincture
The three dried herbs are macerated together in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water - the classic herbal method. A tincture keeps for years at room temperature in a cool, dark place, has a pungent, garlicky, slightly astringent taste, and a few drops disappear in a glass of water or juice. A serving of 20 to 30 drops is roughly 1 ml of liquid, so the amount of alcohol per serving is small.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. Do not use continuously for more than eight weeks without a practitioner. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same three-herb blend is available as Bronchial Support Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
