Ginseng and Echinacea Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of two roots extracted together in equal parts and named for its ingredients: the steamed red root of Asian ginseng and the root of the purple coneflower. Both are also sold on their own. It is a traditional herbal product - ginseng interacts with several common medicines - please read the safety information below before use.
- Red ginseng, root - Panax ginseng root, steamed and dried (Araliaceae)
- Echinacea, root - Echinacea purpurea root (Asteraceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced, cultivated botanicals (ginseng from China, echinacea from the USA). Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Red ginseng root - the forked root of Panax ginseng, a shade-loving perennial of the mountain forests of Korea and northeast China, cultivated for about six years before harvest. Steaming the fresh root and then drying it turns it reddish-brown and gives red ginseng its distinct profile; white ginseng is the same root simply dried.
- Echinacea root - the root of the purple coneflower of the North American prairie, with its drooping pink petals and spiny orange cone. The root has a characteristic tingling taste; the flowering herb of the same plant is a separate preparation.
Why a tincture
The two dried roots 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, earthy taste with the tingle typical of echinacea root, 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; ginseng is best taken earlier in the day. 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 two-root blend is available as Ginseng and Echinacea Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The roots and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use

- Allergies: echinacea is a daisy-family (Asteraceae) plant. Avoid if you are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds or daisies.

Good job!
Excellent product! Doesn't have the harsh taste of alcohol found in other liquid extracts. Would highly recommend!
Excellent product
Item arrived early and so far seems to work very well!!
Awesome! Thank you
Really effective at blunting the hangover. Tried it out in Vegas this weekend. Very happy. Its almost clear and has a slight, sweet flavor. Easy to add to a glass of water or take straight.
Thanks!
