Legs Relax Alcohol-Free Drops
This is an alcohol-free liquid extract (glycerite) of three herbs extracted together: the pungent root of valerian, the aromatic leaf of thyme, and quina - the bark of the Andean cinchona tree, the natural source of quinine. Each is also sold on its own. This is a traditional herbal product for adults only, with serious cautions - please read the safety information below before use.
- Valerian, root - Valeriana officinalis root (Caprifoliaceae)
- Thyme, leaf - Thymus vulgaris leaf (Lamiaceae)
- Quina (cinchona), bark - Cinchona officinalis bark (Rubiaceae) - contains quinine and related alkaloids
- Extract type: Alcohol-free glycerite - liquid drops. Other ingredients: vegetable glycerin, purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced botanicals (valerian from the USA, thyme from Egypt, quina bark from Brazil). Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Valerian root - the root of a tall meadow plant of Europe with clusters of pale pink flowers; the root has a strong, earthy smell that is unmistakable once known, and it has been gathered in European herbalism for centuries.
- Thyme leaf - the small grey-green leaves of the low aromatic shrub of Mediterranean hillsides, the same plant as the kitchen herb.
- Quina bark - also called Peruvian bark or Jesuit bark, the bark of a cinchona tree native to the Andes, historically famous as the source from which quinine was first isolated. The whole bark contains quinine and related alkaloids in small amounts, which is why this blend carries the cautions below. It is not the same as quinine tablets (a prescription medicine) or tonic water.
Why the alcohol-free drops
The three dried herbs are extracted together in vegetable glycerin and purified water, so there is no ethanol in the bottle - the version to choose if you avoid alcohol. Glycerin gives the drops a mild, naturally sweet taste that softens the very bitter, earthy note of the herbs.
What is a glycerite?
A glycerite is a liquid herbal extract made with vegetable glycerin instead of alcohol. Glycerin is a clear, naturally sweet liquid from plant oils; it extracts and preserves the water-soluble parts of the herbs. Because glycerin is a weaker preservative than alcohol, keep the bottle refrigerated after opening. The glycerin and water percentages are printed on the label.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water, juice or tea 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. Do not drive or operate machinery after taking it. Refrigerate after opening and use within the period printed on the label.
Drops or tincture?
If you prefer the classic alcohol-based extract with the longest shelf life at room temperature, the same three-herb blend is available as Legs Relax Tincture - the alcohol-based version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
