California Poppy and Lavender Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of two herbs extracted together in equal parts and named for its ingredients: the orange wildflower of the American West and the violet flower spikes of lavender - here the large-flowered hybrid lavandin, Lavandula x intermedia. Both are also sold on their own. It is a traditional herbal product - it causes drowsiness and is for adults only - please read the safety information below before use.
- California poppy, aerial parts - Eschscholzia californica aerial parts (Papaveraceae)
- Lavender (lavandin), flower - Lavandula x intermedia flower (Lamiaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced, cultivated botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- California poppy - the bright orange annual that carpets Californian hillsides each spring; the whole flowering herb is used. It belongs to the poppy family but is a different genus from the opium poppy and contains no opium.
- Lavandin flower - the flower spikes of a natural hybrid of English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and spike lavender, the tall, vigorous lavender of the Provence fields. Lavandin has a sharper scent and noticeably more camphor than English lavender, which is why this blend is for adults only. We also sell English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) flower on its own.
Why a tincture
The two 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 bitter, floral, slightly camphor-like 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 drive or operate machinery after taking it. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same two-herb blend is available as California Poppy and Lavender Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
