Eucalyptus and Spearmint Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of two aromatic leaves extracted together in equal parts and named for its ingredients: the sickle-shaped leaf of the Australian blue gum and the sweet leaf of garden spearmint. Both are also sold on their own. It is a traditional herbal product for adults only - please read the safety information below before use.
- Eucalyptus, leaf - Eucalyptus globulus leaf (Myrtaceae) - whole-leaf extract, not the essential oil
- Spearmint, leaf - Mentha spicata leaf (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
- Eucalyptus leaf - the long, blue-grey, sickle-shaped leaf of the Tasmanian blue gum, a fast-growing tree planted around the world; the dried leaf is extracted whole here, which is a very different thing from the distilled essential oil. The leaf carries cineole, the aromatic compound of eucalyptus, which is why this blend is for adults only.
- Spearmint leaf - the bright green, pointed leaf of the sweet garden mint, a true species (unlike peppermint, which is a hybrid) whose mild scent comes from carvone rather than menthol; it is the mint of mint sauce and chewing gum.
Why a tincture
The two dried leaves 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 cool, camphor-like, minty 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, and do not use it for long periods 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 two-leaf blend is available as Eucalyptus and Spearmint Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The leaves and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
This blend contains eucalyptus leaf and is for adults only. Please read before use.
- Children: eucalyptus leaf contains cineole, which has caused seizures and drowsiness in children even in small amounts. This blend is for adults only; never give it to children.
- Seizure disorders: do not use if you have a history of seizures.
- Do not exceed the label serving: too much eucalyptus can cause nausea, dizziness or drowsiness. Stop and seek medical help if these occur.
- Hormones: spearmint can lower androgen (testosterone) levels. Consult your doctor before use if you have a hormone-sensitive condition, low testosterone, or are trying to conceive.
- Kidneys and liver: large amounts of spearmint may burden the kidneys and liver. Do not use if you have kidney or liver disease.
- Medicines: spearmint may change how the liver processes some drugs. Ask your pharmacist if you take prescription medicines.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use.
- Allergies: spearmint is a mint-family (Lamiaceae) plant; eucalyptus is a myrtle-family (Myrtaceae) plant.
- Contains alcohol. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Keep out of reach of children.

Great product - best price! Excellent service!
Just as described. Thanks!
Arrived on time, product protection in the package was superb - an elephant would have had to stomp the package intentionally to have broken the bottle, almost literally.
I need to research the use of glycerin/90 proof vodka as a combination in herbal tinctures. It does improve the flavor, but I'm unsure if it impacts the shelf life or strength. Great deal on this line of tinctures.
Expert job of packing glass bottles full of liquid! Items were received in perfect condition.
