Bigfoot's Herbal Tinctures
Herbs are sustainably wildcrafted or grown in our own organic garden, harvested and processed by hand, and extracted into alcohol-based tinctures by Peter Bigfoot himself, in small batches. Tinctures will last two years, or more, probably losing potency gradually but maintaining their strength better if kept in a cool, dark place. However, we have found that tinctures have still been effective after storage in a glove compartment through an Arizona summer.

I have very successfully treated bitten pets in this way too. Herbal ingredient: Echinacea root. (2 fl. oz.)

This is my primary remedy for premenstrual syndrome, which I believe to be the result of an exhausted, congested, and toxic liver.
