Alfalfa Herbal Remedy

Alfalfa is a deeply nourishing herb known as a “herbal multivitamin” due to its rich content of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine, it supports overall vitality, promotes healthy digestion, and gently detoxifies the body. Alfalfa is particularly helpful for those recovering from illness, dealing with fatigue, or needing a nutritional boost.

Available Formats: Elixir, Tincture, and Glycetract

We offer this herbal remedy in three different preparations to suit a variety of health needs, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Whether you're looking for a traditional alcohol-based tincture, a sweet and nourishing elixir (also contains alcohol), or a gentle alcohol-free glycetract, you can choose the form that’s right for you or your loved ones.

Elixir

Elixirs are traditional herbal preparations made using a blend of alcohol, Glycerine, and water. They are often used when you want both therapeutic action and a palatable, sweetish flavour, especially for those who prefer not to taste the bitterness of herbs.

Best for: Adults and children - ages 1+, general wellness and those who dislike bitter tinctures.

Tincture

Tinctures are highly concentrated herbal extracts made using alcohol as a solvent. This is one of the most effective ways to extract the full medicinal spectrum of most herbs, including alkaloids, essential oils, and resins.

Best for: Adults and children or those looking for fast, potent results. Not ideal for those sensitive to alcohol, reformed alcoholics or for young children under 1.

Glycetract (Glycerite)

Glycetracts are alcohol-free extracts made using vegetable glycerine and water. They are ideal for those who are sensitive to alcohol, including children, pets, or those with liver conditions. While they are not always as potent as tinctures, they are still effective and particularly well-suited for milder conditions or long-term support.

Best for: Children, pets, those avoiding alcohol, or for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (with practitioner advice).

Which One Should I Choose?

• Want the strongest, fastest effect? Choose a Tincture.
• Prefer a sweeter, more nourishing option? Go for an Elixir.
• Need something gentle and alcohol-free? Opt for a Glycetract.
