What is a herbal tincture?

A herbal tincture is a concentrated liquid extract of a plant: its root, leaf, flower, berry or bark. Tinctures have been part of European, Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal practice for centuries, because they preserve the plant well and are simple to take by the dropper.

Every Dr.Shrooms herbal tincture is made in-house in Liverpool from dried herbs sourced from the regions where they have traditionally grown. Like our mushroom tinctures, they are dual-extracted, using both water and alcohol, so each 50ml bottle carries a broad spectrum of the plant’s compounds.

Ashwagandha
Ayurvedic adaptogen
Ashwagandha

Ayurveda’s great calming root.

For over 3,000 years, Ashwagandha has held a place of honour in Ayurvedic tradition as a rasayana — a rejuvenating tonic for body and mind. It is an adaptogen: a plant traditionally used to help the body adapt to the pressures of everyday life.

Black Maca
Andean tradition
Black Maca

The rarest maca of the high Andes.

Maca has been cultivated in the Peruvian Andes for over 2,000 years, where it grows at altitudes few crops can survive. Of all its colours, black maca is the rarest — just 10 to 15% of each harvest — and has long been the variety most prized for vitality and stamina.

Dandelion
European herbal tradition
Dandelion

The humble herb with a thousand-year pedigree.

Far more than a garden weed, dandelion has been a trusted herb in European, Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions for over a thousand years. Its bitter root has long been used to support digestion, while its leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals.

Echinacea
Native American tradition
Echinacea

The purple coneflower — a winter essential.

Echinacea was one of the most important herbs of the Native American Plains peoples, and today it is one of the best-selling herbs in the world. Traditionally taken through the colder months, it is a staple of the winter cabinet.

Horny Goat Weed
Chinese herbal tradition
Horny Goat Weed

Chinese tradition’s famous vitality herb.

Known in China as Yin Yang Huo, Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium) has been used in traditional Chinese practice for over 2,000 years as a tonic for vitality and drive. Its signature compound, icariin, is what the plant is best known for today.

Milk Thistle
European herbal tradition
Milk Thistle

The classic European liver herb.

Milk Thistle has been part of European herbal tradition for over 2,000 years, recorded by Pliny the Elder and still one of the most widely used herbs today. Its seeds are the source of silymarin, one of the most researched plant compounds in the world.

Moringa
Ayurvedic superfood
Moringa

The “miracle tree” — nature’s green multivitamin.

Moringa has been used in Ayurvedic practice for over 4,000 years and is known across Africa and Asia as the “miracle tree”. Its leaves are among the most nutrient-dense of any plant, naturally containing a wide range of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Mullein
European herbal tradition
Mullein

The velvet-leaf herb for the chest and throat.

Mullein, with its soft velvet leaves and tall yellow flower spikes, has been a traditional herb for the chest and throat for over 2,000 years across Europe and beyond. Its natural mucilage gives it its famously soothing character.

Neem
Ayurvedic tradition
Neem

The “village pharmacy” of India.

Neem has been called the “village pharmacy” of India for centuries. In Ayurveda it is known as a Rakta Shodhaka — a purifier — and its famously bitter leaves are traditionally used to support clear skin and the body’s natural cleansing processes.

Nettle
European spring tonic
Nettle

The mineral-rich spring green.

Stinging nettle has been gathered in spring for at least 2,000 years, used across Europe as a tonic, a food and a traditional herb. It is one of the most mineral-rich plants in the wild — and our tincture is made from fresh spring nettle, harvested at its peak.

Red Ginseng
Korean tradition
Red Ginseng

The world’s most time-honoured tonic root.

Korean red ginseng has been treasured for thousands of years as the king of tonic herbs. “Red” ginseng is made by steaming the root before drying — a traditional process that creates distinctive ginsenosides not found in raw white ginseng.

Rhodiola
Arctic adaptogen
Rhodiola

The golden root of the Arctic.

Rhodiola rosea grows in the harsh cold of the Arctic and high mountains, and has been used for centuries by Scandinavian and Siberian peoples to stay strong through long, hard winters. It is one of the world’s most studied adaptogens.

Schisandra Berry
Chinese herbal tradition
Schisandra Berry

The five-flavour berry.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Schisandra is Wu Wei Zi — the “five-flavour fruit” — because a single berry is sour, bitter, sweet, salty and pungent at once. It was traditionally said to nourish every major organ system, and it is valued today as an adaptogen and a tonic for the liver.

Sleep Aid
Four-herb evening blend
Sleep Aid

Four classic evening herbs, beautifully balanced.

A calming evening blend of four of Europe’s most traditional bedtime herbs: valerian, passionflower, chamomile and lemon balm. For centuries these herbs have been taken as night-time infusions to help people unwind — here they are carefully balanced in one tincture.

Soursop
Caribbean tradition
Soursop

A treasured leaf of Caribbean tradition.

Soursop (Annona muricata), also known as graviola, grows across the Caribbean and the Amazon, where its leaves have been brewed as a traditional tea for generations. Naturally rich in antioxidant compounds, it is a much-loved herb in tropical traditions.

Parasite Cleanse Kit

Five traditional herbs. One structured seasonal protocol.

A complete herbal cleanse kit bringing together five herbs traditionally used for generations in gut-cleansing protocols: Wormwood, Black Walnut Hull, Clove, White Oregano and Cleavers. Rather than a single ingredient, it is a structured protocol, with a clear guide included so you know exactly what to take and when.

Adaptogens and traditional herbs

Our collection spans the great traditions. From Ayurveda come Ashwagandha, Moringa and Neem. From the Arctic and Siberia comes Rhodiola, the “golden root”, and from China and Korea come Red Ginseng, Schisandra Berry and Horny Goat Weed. Southeast Asia gives us Tongkat Ali, and the high Andes Black Maca.

Closer to home are the classic European herbs: Nettle, the mineral-rich spring green; Dandelion; Milk Thistle; Mullein; and Echinacea, the winter essential. For the evening there is our four-herb Sleep Aid blend, and for a structured seasonal routine, the five-herb Parasite Cleanse kit.

How to take a herbal tincture

Shake the bottle well before each use. Follow the directions on each product page and on the label: most herbal tinctures are taken in a little water or juice, or held under the tongue briefly before swallowing. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount, and speak to your GP first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dual-extracted herbal tincture?

It is a liquid extract of a herb made with both water and alcohol, combined into one bottle, so it carries a broader range of the plant’s compounds than a single-method extract.

Which herbal tincture should I start with?

It depends on your routine. Ashwagandha and Rhodiola are popular adaptogens, Nettle and Moringa are traditional nourishing greens, and Sleep Aid is our evening blend. Contact our team at info@dr-shrooms.com for one-to-one guidance.

How long does a 50ml herbal tincture last?

A full dropper is roughly 1ml. At the amount recommended on most of our product pages, a 50ml bottle lasts around two to three weeks.

Can I combine herbal and mushroom tinctures?

Yes, many customers do. Our stacks combine herbs and mushrooms into ready-made routines, saving up to 30% compared with buying them individually.

Do you deliver herbal tinctures across the UK?
