LAIDY Tincture, Black Cohosh, Vitex, Dong Quai, Ginkgo Leaf, Maca, Burdock, St. John's Wort
LAIDY Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of seven herbs extracted together: three roots, a berry, a leaf, a wayside root and a flowering herb, gathered from three continents. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product for adults only that interacts with many prescription medicines, including hormonal contraceptives - please read the safety information below before use.
- Black cohosh, root - Actaea racemosa root (syn. Cimicifuga racemosa; Ranunculaceae)
- Vitex (chaste tree), berry - Vitex agnus-castus berry (Lamiaceae)
- Dong quai, root - Angelica sinensis root (Apiaceae)
- Ginkgo, leaf - Ginkgo biloba leaf (Ginkgoaceae) - the leaf, not the seed
- Maca, root - Lepidium meyenii root (Brassicaceae)
- Burdock, root - Arctium lappa root (Asteraceae)
- St. John's wort, herb - Hypericum perforatum herb (Hypericaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Black cohosh root - the dark, knotted root of a tall woodland plant of eastern North America with wands of white flowers.
- Vitex berry - the small, pepper-scented fruit of the Mediterranean chaste tree.
- Dong quai root - the aromatic, celery-scented root of a Chinese angelica grown in the cool mountains of Gansu.
- Ginkgo leaf - the fan-shaped leaf of the ginkgo tree, a living fossil cultivated in temple courtyards for a thousand years. Only the leaf is used; the seed is a different material and is not part of this blend.
- Maca root - the turnip-like root of a cress relative grown above 4,000 meters on the Peruvian altiplano, traditionally dried and cooked.
- Burdock root - the long taproot of the familiar wayside plant with hooked burrs, eaten as a vegetable (gobo) in Japan.
- St. John's wort herb - the yellow-flowered herb of European meadows, gathered in midsummer; its flowers stain the extract red.
Why a tincture
The seven 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, earthy, slightly peppery 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 continuously for more than a few months 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 seven-herb blend is available as LAIDY Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
This blend interacts with many prescription medicines, including hormonal contraceptives, and is for adults only. Please read before use.
- Prescription medicines: St. John's wort speeds up the breakdown of many drugs and can make them stop working. Do not use this blend if you take hormonal contraceptives, warfarin, digoxin, statins, HIV medicines, transplant medicines, cancer drugs or any other prescription medicine without your doctor. Vitex can also reduce the effect of contraceptives and hormone therapy and interferes with antipsychotics and dopamine agonists.
- Antidepressants: do not combine with any antidepressant or other serotonin-acting drug.
- Bleeding and surgery: ginkgo leaf and dong quai can increase bleeding. Do not combine with blood thinners or aspirin, and stop use at least two weeks before surgery.
- Pregnancy, nursing and conception: do not use.
- Hormone-sensitive conditions: several of these herbs act on hormone pathways. Do not use if you have a hormone-sensitive condition.
- Liver: black cohosh has been linked to rare liver injury. Stop and see a doctor if you notice dark urine, yellowing skin or eyes, or stomach pain.
- Thyroid: maca may affect thyroid function. Consult your doctor if you have a thyroid condition.
- Sun: St. John's wort and dong quai increase sun sensitivity. Protect your skin.
- Seizures: ginkgo may lower the seizure threshold. Do not use if you have a seizure disorder.
- Allergies, diuretics and blood sugar: burdock is a daisy-family (Asteraceae) plant, adds to the effect of diuretics and may lower blood sugar.
- Bipolar disorder: do not use St. John's wort.
- Age: adults only.
- 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.
