What does fresh plant tincture mean?
The herb is pressed soon after harvest rather than dried first. A Vogel built their whole range around it, and it is the main thing that distinguishes them.
Do tinctures contain alcohol?
Many do - it is the extraction medium. The amount per dose is small, but the pack states it, and alcohol-free options exist if you need one.
Can I take herbs with prescribed medication?
Check first. St John's Wort in particular interacts with many medicines. Your pharmacist can check the specific product against your prescription.
How long before a herbal preparation does anything?
Most are taken over weeks rather than days, and manufacturers usually give guidance on the pack. Herbs are generally slow and cumulative.
