Welcome to Tinctures and Terpenes Apothecary
Let's explore!
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are found in herbs, fruits, plants and cannabis, and have strong aromas produced to attract pollinators, protect the plant from external stressors and repel predators.
Terpene’s do much more than just provide aroma and flavor though.
Terpenes play a medicinal role
​
(that distinct smell of cannabis….that’s part of the terpenes my friend)
​
For most products within this apothecary, you will find a summary of terpene information that is grown within the ingredient naturally and has not been synthetically added.
General terpene benefits, depending on the terpene, can include reduction in chronic pain, inflammation, inducing sleep, enhancing mood and promoting relaxation to name a few.
Maple syrup has over 300 different terpenes! Be on the lookout for synthetic terpenes as they are often used as food additives and artificial flavor.
Why Tinctures?
Tinctures have been around for millennia and are a key component to traditional healing herbal medicines. They are concentrated herbal extracts made by soaking bark, berries, flowers, roots or leaves from one or more plants, traditionally in alcohol.
​
The alcohol and water in the alcohol pulls out the active ingredients within the plant parts concentrating them into a liquid. Alcohol is the ideal menstruum (solvent) as the medicinal qualities are brought directly to the bloodstream.
