• Medicinal: Cnicus Benedictus (blessed thistle) farm fresh leaves 1:2.
• Non-medicinal: alcohol, spring water.
☞ The complete process for making tinctures is done by a certified herbalist, from harvest to bottling.

☞ All our tinctures are made from medicinal plants grown on our farm and carefully selected during our harvests, always done by hand. We harvest blessed thistle leaves at their peak in the spring only.

☞ The plants are then spread out on grids and inspected a second time before being infused in small batches for a long period of several weeks in an alcohol appropriate for the plant and stored in a cool, dark room. When the right moment is right, we double filter the plants, but we do not use a micro-filter, thus letting interesting but slightly larger molecules pass, such as resins, polysaccharides, etc. The result: a product full of active ingredients with a few small deposits!

☞ Behind every dye pot there is a lot of sunshine, clean and fresh air, irrigation from the sky or by human intervention as well as a passionate thunder team that puts a lot of energy from the first seed in the ground to the month of February, to the thousands of small seedlings transplanted in the greenhouse all spring, to the big harvests and the arduous weeding under the radiant sun of the summer months, until the gardens close during the cold autumn months to prepare them to be reborn again next spring, reminding us that everything has a cycle.
