Tinctures are one of the oldest ways of working with plants and fungi - concentrated herbal preparations made by taking time seriously.
This collection brings together small-batch herbal and mushroom tinctures crafted using traditional alcohol free extraction methods. Working slowly with herbs and fungi in glycerine and water, each tincture is made to draw out character and depth through patience rather than force.
These are preparations designed to be used thoughtfully and returned to over time - practical, purposeful and rooted in long-standing herbal practice.
This category includes herbal and mushroom tinctures prepared through extended extraction methods traditionally used to draw out plant and fungal compounds. These tinctures are crafted in small batches using wild and cultivated materials, with attention to sourcing, preparation method and historical context.

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) is one of the most widely studied and traditionally used mushrooms in the world.
Found growing in layered fans on fallen hardwoods, Turkey Tail has been gathered for centuries across Europe, Asia, and North America. In traditional herbal and folk practices, it was valued for its resilient, adaptive nature — a mushroom associated with steadiness, balance, and long-term support rather than quick effects.
Our Turkey Tail tincture is made using carefully sourced woodland fungi and prepared slowly as a traditional glycerin extraction, allowing the character of the mushroom to be captured in a concentrated, shelf-stable form. It’s a simple, unfussy preparation — made with the same care and attention we bring to everything we produce.
Thanks to new UK “Novel Food” laws, this tincture is labelled for canine use, and is offered for those wishing to include Turkey Tail as part of their dog’s routine. This is the same human/animal safe product we have always sold, but the UK government have labelled it “not for human consumption”. It turns out, four legs make all the difference when it comes to mushroom paperwork…

Chaga, prepared with intention
30ml glass dropper bottle
Known as “The King Of Medicinal Mushrooms”, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a slow-growing forest fungus shaped by cold climates, clean air, and time.
Found growing on mature birch trees in northern forests, Chaga has been gathered for centuries across Northern Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. Traditionally, it was approached not as a quick remedy, but as a deeply grounding, steady presence, often prepared patiently and returned to regularly as part of long-term routines.
A triple extract reflects that same philosophy of patience.
This tincture is made using a three-stage extraction process, traditionally used to draw out different qualities of dense, woody fungi like Chaga. By working with water and vegetable glycerin over time, the extraction captures both water-soluble and glycerin-soluble components, resulting in a fuller, more rounded preparation — without the use of alcohol.
Our Chaga Triple Extract Tincture is made slowly, in small batches, using carefully sourced Chaga and traditional methods adapted for an alcohol-free finish. The result is a concentrated yet gentle tincture that fits easily into everyday rhythms.
This is Chaga in its most complete, considered form — deep, steady, and quietly supportive by nature.
Ingredients
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), vegetable glycerin, water
Notes
• Alcohol-free triple extraction
• Made in small batches
• Deep, grounding, and steady in character
• Prepared slowly using traditional principles

Quietly practical, like the fungus itself.
30ml glass dropper bottle
Birch polypore is a mushroom with a long, practical history.
Growing quietly on birch trees across northern forests, Fomitopsis betulina has been found alongside human journeys for thousands of years. It’s perhaps best known from archaeological finds — carried, dried, and valued not for ornament, but for usefulness. This is a fungus that earned its place by being reliable.
Traditionally, birch polypore was gathered and worked with for its drying, steady, and protective qualities, and was often associated with resilience and self-sufficiency. It wasn’t a flashy mushroom, but one that appeared again and again in folk practices where practicality mattered more than performance.
Our Birch Polypore Tincture is made as a slow, alcohol-free extraction using vegetable glycerin and water, a method well suited to its firm, fibrous nature. Prepared in small batches with patience, this approach allows the character of the mushroom to come through gently, without harshness.
This is a tincture for those who appreciate straightforward preparations — simple, measured, and quietly dependable.
Ingredients
Birch polypore (Fomitopsis betulina), vegetable glycerin, water
Notes
• Alcohol-free
• Made in small batches
• Traditionally inspired extraction method
• Dry, steady, and grounding in character

For when everything needs to just calm down a bit
30ml glass dropper bottle
Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans) is a quiet plant with a long memory.
Found growing along riverbanks, damp meadows, and woodland edges, it has been gathered for centuries within European folk and Western herbal traditions. Bugleweed was never a showy herb, it wasn’t prized for intensity or stimulation, but for its cooling, calming, and settling nature.
Traditionally, herbalists turned to Bugleweed during times of excess or overactivity, valuing it as a plant that encourages gentleness, steadiness, and restfulness. Old texts describe it as subtly sedative in character, often associated with slowing and softening racing minds and bodies.
Our Bugleweed tincture is made slowly using vegetable glycerin and water, creating a completely alcohol-free extraction that suits the plant’s naturally gentle temperament. Prepared in small batches with care and patience, this tincture honours Bugleweed as it has always been used - quietly, thoughtfully, and without force.
This is a tincture for those needing slower rhythms - for moments when deep rest is needed.
Ingredients:
Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans), vegetable glycerin, water
Recommended dosage: 4-5 drops in an evening after food. Not intended for every day use.
* Made in small batches
* Traditionally valued for its calming qualities
* Prepared using traditional methods

For clarity, focus, and quiet attentiveness
30ml glass dropper bottle
Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a distinctive, cascading white mushroom long valued in traditional practice for its association with the mind and nervous system.
Unlike many wild fungi, lion’s mane has a long history of careful cultivation. Our lion’s mane is grown in Wales under controlled conditions that prioritise quality, consistency, and respect for the organism itself. This cultivated approach allows the mushroom to develop fully without pressure on wild ecosystems, while still honouring its traditional use.
Historically, lion’s mane has been regarded as a mushroom of awareness and steadiness — one associated with mental clarity, memory, and the maintenance of calm focus rather than stimulation. Traditional texts and modern interest alike tend to frame lion’s mane as supportive over time, something built into daily or seasonal routines rather than used sporadically.
Our lion’s mane tincture is made slowly using vegetable glycerine and water, creating a completely alcohol-free extraction that suits those seeking a gentler preparation. This method draws out water-soluble compounds while keeping the final tincture smooth, mild, and easy to incorporate into everyday use.
Prepared in small batches with patience and care, this tincture reflects our preference for quiet craft over intensity — allowing the character of the mushroom to speak for itself.
This is a tincture for moments that call for clarity without urgency, and for those drawn to steadier, more attentive rhythms.
Ingredients:
Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), vegetable glycerine, water
(Cultivated in Wales)
Suggested use:
Traditionally taken in small amounts as part of a daily routine.
Made in small batches
Alcohol-free (glycerine & water extraction)

Some plants arrive gently — Oregano does not
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a small, aromatic plant with a long and assertive history.
Native to the Mediterranean and long naturalised across Europe, Oregano has been gathered for centuries within folk herbal traditions as a warming, protective herb — one known for its intensity as much as its usefulness. It thrives in dry, sunlit places, concentrating its strength into compact leaves rich in scent and flavour.
Traditionally, Oregano was valued as a plant of boundaries and resilience. Herbalists and home practitioners turned to it during times when the body felt challenged or overstretched, recognising its sharp, pungent nature as something to be used carefully, in small amounts, and with respect. Old herbal texts often describe oregano as heating, stimulating, and strongly aromatic — a plant that does not whisper, but speaks clearly.
Our Oregano oil is made by slowly infusing dried Oregano into a blend of coconut oil and olive oil, allowing the plant’s aromatic compounds to gently transfer into the oil over time. This method tempers oregano’s intensity, creating a preparation that is strong yet balanced, suited to traditional external use and careful, mindful application.
Prepared in small batches with patience and attention, this oil honours oregano as a plant of clarity and strength — one best approached thoughtfully, rather than casually.
Ingredients:
Oregano (Origanum vulgare), coconut oil, olive oil
Traditional use:
Applied externally in small amounts as part of traditional herbal practice
Made in small batches
Traditionally valued for its aromatic, warming qualities
Prepared using slow infusion methods
Best used sparingly and with intention
