Seasonal Pollen Protection Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of two herbs extracted together in equal parts: a yellow legume root from northern China and the green leaf of the common stinging nettle. Both are also sold on their own. It is a traditional herbal product - please read the safety information below before use.
- Astragalus, root - Astragalus membranaceus root (Huang Qi) (Fabaceae)
- Stinging nettle, leaf - Urtica dioica leaf (Urticaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced botanicals (nettle from Bulgaria, astragalus from China). Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Astragalus root (Huang Qi) - the long, fibrous root of a perennial legume of the grasslands of northern China and Mongolia, pale when dug and yellow when dried, which is where its Chinese name, yellow leader, comes from. It is one of the most frequently used roots in Chinese herbal tradition.
- Stinging nettle leaf - the toothed, dark-green leaf of the hedgerow perennial found across Europe, Asia and North America. Fresh, the leaf carries fine hairs that sting on contact; dried or extracted, it no longer stings, and the young leaves have long been cooked and eaten like spinach. Ours comes from Bulgaria.
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 green, slightly sweet, earthy 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. 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 Seasonal Pollen Protection Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
Both herbs in this blend have documented cautions. Please read before use.
- Autoimmune conditions and immune-suppressing medication: astragalus may increase immune activity. Do not use if you have an autoimmune condition such as lupus, multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis, or if you take immunosuppressants, including after an organ transplant.
- Blood thinners: nettle leaf is rich in vitamin K and may reduce the effect of warfarin. Consult your doctor if you take any blood thinner, and stop use at least two weeks before surgery.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use.
- Lithium and diuretics: nettle has a mild diuretic effect and may change how the body handles lithium and water pills - consult your doctor.
- Blood pressure and blood sugar: nettle may lower both - monitor if you take medication for either.
- Allergies: do not use if you are allergic to nettle-family (Urticaceae) plants.
- See a doctor: this blend is not a replacement for any prescribed medication.
- Age: not for children.
- 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.

I have had other periwinkle products but this is the first none alcohol one. It did not seem to do the same as the alcohol one. Not sure if it is because of the potency is different but I'm thinking it is because of the alcohol not be the driver into your system. I just did not get the same ef ..
