Cramp Bark Tincture
1:1 High Strength 25%
A 1:1, high strength tincture of fresh, organic Viburnum opulus bark fluid extract. The plants are grown in East Midlands and are processed the same day as harvest.
As the name suggests, Cramp Bark (also known as Guelder Rose) is traditionally used to relieve cramps, including muscle spasms and menstrual cramps. It can help with IBS as well as stress and tension. Research suggests it may also relax blood vessels, reducing pain and blood pressure and improving circulation to the extremities.
The tinctures are packaged in blue glass bottles with a pipette lid, so drops are easily dispensed.

Information
A tincture is a concentrated herbal extract made using ethanol and distilled water. When glycerine is used in place of the ethanol, it is called a glycerite. The ethanol acts as a solvent, drawing out the active compounds from the herb into the liquid.
The ratio refers to the concentration of herbs to solvent, for example 1:3 would be 1 part herbs (grams) to 3 parts liquid (millilitres). 1:1 is the strongest extract, in which 1ml of liquid is the extracted equivalent of 1000mg of herb.
The percentage of a tincture refers to the alcohol used. 45% means that the ethanol was diluted to 45% with distilled water.
The tincture should also clarify whether dried or fresh herbs were used.
Usually between few drops and a few dropperfuls of tincture are taken daily by mouth, either straight or diluted in water.
Storage
Keep cool, dry, sealed & out of direct sunlight.
