FAQ

Where do you harvest your ingredients?  

All of my ingredients are wild-harvested in the woods and meadows of North Jersey, where I’ve lived and explored for over 59 years. Every plant and mushroom is hand-selected with care, always gathered sustainably and with deep respect for the land.

 

What makes your tinctures different from others?  

Everything is wild harvested direct from nature. I’m a solo maker, which means I handle every part of the process — from foraging to bottling. I’m extremely selective about what I harvest, choosing only the healthiest, most vibrant plants and mushrooms. I also use a dual-extraction process whenever possible to ensure each tincture is as potent and effective as it can be. If it’s not something I’d give to my own family, I won’t sell it.

What is a dual-extraction tincture?  

Dual extraction means I use both alcohol and water to pull out the widest possible range of beneficial compounds from the plant or mushroom. Alcohol extracts the alkaloids and other alcohol-soluble components, while water draws out polysaccharides and other water-soluble constituents. The result is a more complete, full-spectrum tincture.

 

Are your tinctures safe and natural?  

Yes — all of my tinctures are 100% natural, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from preservatives or artificial additives AND wild harvested,I use health-grade, sanitized equipment and safety-seal every bottle. I don’t use anything I wouldn’t give to my own children.

 

How long is your extraction to make tincture?

My proprietary extraction methods are 8 to 10 weeks

 

How do I use your tinctures? 

Most tinctures can be taken under the tongue or added to water or tea. A typical dose is 1–2 dropperfuls (about 30–60 drops), one to three times a day, depending on the blend and your needs. I always recommend starting small and adjusting as needed. Please consult your healthcare provider, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, or on medication.

 

Do you offer custom blends or special requests?  

Yes! If you’re looking for something specific or want to combine certain herbs or mushrooms, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to craft something that fits your needs — as long as it aligns with safe, ethical practices.

How do you harvest sustainably? 

I only take a small percentage of what I find — never more than the environment can afford to give. My belief in abundance is rooted in respect: if we treat nature well, it continues to provide. I never harvest from endangered plants, and I rotate my foraging spots to avoid over-harvesting any one area.

 

Who are these tinctures for?  

These tinctures are for anyone looking for natural, effective support — whether you're dealing with stress, sleep troubles, cognitive fog, immune issues, or just want to feel more balanced and energized. My products are especially helpful for people looking for alternatives to synthetic medications or who want to reconnect with natural wellness.

Do you ship outside of New Jersey?  

Yes — I currently ship throughout the U.S. If you're outside the U.S., send me a message and I’ll let you know if shipping is possible to your location.

Why did you start making tinctures? 

I started after my son struggled with anxiety and I didn’t want him going down the pharmaceutical road I had in the past. I found natural remedies that worked — starting with Lemon Balm — and realized I could find those very plants right here in New Jersey. With a lifelong love for the outdoors, it all just clicked. Helping people feel better with something wild and real is what drives me every day.
