Skin Support Alcohol-Free Drops
Skin Support Alcohol-Free Glycerite, Burdock Root, Dandelion Leaf, Milk Thistle Seed, Stinging Nettle Leaf
Skin Support Alcohol-Free Drops
This is an alcohol-free liquid extract (glycerite) of four herbs extracted together in equal parts: a root, a seed and two leaves from the most familiar hedgerow and garden plants of Europe. Three of the four belong to the daisy family. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product - please read the safety information below before use.
- Burdock, root - Arctium lappa root (Asteraceae)
- Dandelion, leaf - Taraxacum officinale leaf (Asteraceae) - the leaf, not the root
- Milk thistle, seed - Silybum marianum seed (Asteraceae)
- Stinging nettle, leaf - Urtica dioica leaf (Urticaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol-free glycerite - liquid drops. Other ingredients: vegetable glycerin, purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Burdock - the long, sweet-earthy taproot of the great burdock, the tall plant whose hooked burrs inspired Velcro; the root is dug in the plant's first year and is eaten as gobo in Japan.
- Dandelion - the toothed green leaf of the lawn weed, eaten as a bitter salad green in France and Italy. This blend uses the leaf; the root is a separate product.
- Milk thistle - the small, hard seeds of a tall purple-flowered Mediterranean thistle named for the white veins on its leaves.
- Stinging nettle - the hedgerow herb whose young leaves lose their sting when dried or cooked; a traditional spring green.
Why the alcohol-free drops
The dried root, seed and leaves 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 green bitterness 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. 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 four-herb blend is available as Skin Support Tincture - the alcohol-based version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
Three of the four herbs in this blend are daisy-family plants. Please read before use.
- Allergies: burdock, dandelion and milk thistle are daisy-family (Asteraceae) plants - do not use if you are allergic to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums or marigolds; severe reactions to milk thistle have been reported. Nettle can cause skin sensitivity in some people.
- Blood thinners: burdock and milk thistle may slow clotting, while nettle is rich in vitamin K and can weaken warfarin. Consult your doctor if you take any blood thinner, and stop use at least two weeks before surgery.
- Diuretics and blood pressure: dandelion, nettle and burdock increase urine output and may affect potassium and blood pressure - consult your doctor if you take diuretics, lithium or blood-pressure medication.
- Blood sugar: all four herbs may lower blood sugar - monitor if you take diabetes medication.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use - burdock and nettle are traditionally avoided in pregnancy.
- Gallstones: avoid if you have gallstones or a bile-duct obstruction (dandelion).
- See a doctor: persistent or spreading skin changes need medical diagnosis. Do not use this or any herbal product in place of medical care.
- Age: not for children.
- 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.
