Here are our top tips for using your tinctures
+ Use markings on the pipette to measure your dose with care
+ For swift absorption, take directly under your tongue. For a gentle approach add your dose to water, herbal tea or tonic for a refreshing drink.
You may intuitively choose to increase your dose in times of heightened need, but do not exceed 1.5ml up to three times a day.
Warnings: Do not exceed the stated dose.

Ingredients explained
Bilberry
Bilberry, a forest-born berry rich in anthocyanins, has long been prized for its skin-loving powers. These potent antioxidants support microcirculation, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin. By protecting against oxidative stress (11) and promoting a smoother, more radiant complexion(12), bilberry helps skin stay supple, bright, and resilient. With naturally occurring phytonutrients like quercetin and resveratrol, it supports skin vitality from the inside out (13).
Nettle
Nettle has long been cherished in herbal traditions as a deeply nourishing tonic for skin health. Rich in radiance-enhancing nutrients like Vitamin C, iron, and silica (8), it supports glow from the inside out. A natural antihistamine, it helps balance overactive immune responses (9), while its antioxidant and detoxifying compounds (10) work to clear internal stagnation that can dull the complexion. An earthy ally in your skin care ritual.
Chaga
Chaga, the 'protector' mushroom, grows on birch bark and brims with antioxidant compounds that help defend skin from oxidative stress - a key contributor to premature ageing (4). Rich in polyphenols, melanin, and skin-supportive nutrients like B vitamins and beta-glucans (5), it works to support collagen integrity (6) and promote a healthy, resilient complexion (7). With organic Chaga as your inner armour, skin is better equipped to face modern life’s daily aggressors.
Tremella
Tremella, known as the 'beauty mushroom', has been prized since ancient China for its youth-preserving properties. Our organic extract is rich in polysaccharides that support collagen production (1) and hold up to 500 times their weight in water - earning Tremella its title as nature’s hyaluronic acid (1). With antioxidant compounds that shield skin from everyday stressors (2) and help maintain a supple, radiant complexion (3), Tremella is your inner glow-giver, aligned with Sirona’s grace.
Ginger
A root of resilience, ginger has been used for centuries to invigoriate the body and fortify its defences. Rich in bioative compounds like gingerol and shogaol, it can help to maintain a balanced immune response (15), combat microbial threats (16) (17), and support a healthy gut - the seat of immune strength (18). Its natural warmth helps to stimulate circulation, helping immune cells flow where they're most needed. A fiery ally in Brave Immunity, ginger awakens the body's inner guard.
Maitake
Named the 'dancing mushroom' after the joy it once sparked in ancient Japan, Maitake has long been revered as a symbol of strength and vitality. Rich in beta-glucans, this forest-floor fungus primes both innate and adaptive immune defences (5), while its prebiotic polysaccharides nourish gut flora and microbial balance (6). Research suggests Maitake may help the body fend off viral threats, from common infections to more serious invaders (7). A nourishing ally for resilience - both cellular and systemic.
Elderberry
Elderberries grow abundantly across Europe and have long been valued by indigenous peoples and Ancient Egyptians alike. Packed with powerful antioxidants like anthocyanins, elderberry supports the immune system’s frontline defense against colds and flu (8), (9). This ancient berry’s bioactive compounds help the body combat viral and bacterial invaders (10), making it a trusted guardian in Brave Immunity - strong, enduring, and deeply connected to the earth’s natural power.
Thyme
More than a kitchen staple, thyme has long been revered for its protective power - linked to courage and clarity across ancient cultures. Its tiny leaves conceal potent antimicrobial compounds like carvacrol, shown to combat respiratory invaders and soothe coughs (11) (12) (13). Rich in immune-supportive nutrients, thyme helps the body fend off illness and maintain resilience (14). A fragrant defender in our Brave Immunity blend, it stands strong at the frontline of herbal protection.
Shiitake
A symbol of longevity in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiitake mushrooms have helped to sustain vitality for over 2,000 years. Rich in beta-glucans and lentinan, they help train the immune system, enhancing its ability to recognise and respond to threats (1). Modern studies show they boost immune markers (2) and support cellular resilience, with natural antibacterial and antiviral properties (3) , (4). With every dose, Shiitake embodies the energy of a guardian - always ready to defend.
Sage
Used to soothe memory troubles as far back as the 1500s, sage carries a legacy of wisdom - perhaps it’s no coincidence that the word itself means ‘wise’. Celebrated in both kitchen and apothecary, this herb was treasured for its ability to clear the mind and sharpen thought. Modern studies now echo ancient intuition: sage’s potent plant compounds may help protect the brain from oxidative stress (13), nourish the nerves (14) and gently enhance levels of acetylcholine, the vital messenger of memory (15). Shown to improve clarity and recall (16), sage offers a mental stillness amidst the noise.
Rosemary
"Rosemary for remembrance", as Shakespeare once wrote - echoing a belief that stretches back to the ancient Greeks, who crowned their brows with rosemary to sharpen the mind. Revered through centuries for its scent and symbolism, rosemary’s reputation as a brain ally is now backed by science. It is rich in plant compounds such as carnosic acid, offering powerful antioxidant protection for the brain (10), supporting neural health (11) and demonstrating enhancements for memory and cognitive speed (12). A fragrant herb with a legacy of wisdom.
Gotu Kola
Known as the ‘herb of enlightenment’ Gotu Kola has deep roots in both Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, prized for its role in soothing the mind while awakening its potential. Modern research confirms its neuroprotective and regenerative potential - helping shield brain cells(5), enhance neural connectivity(6), and support memory and focus(7). Rich in plant compounds, Gotu Kola can improve blood flow and support the energy powerhouses of your cells - the mitochondria(8) (9). A sacred botanical ally for mental clarity.
Cordyceps Sinensis
Once discovered by Himalayan yak herders and revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cordyceps has long been valued for its ability to elevate energy and endurance. Now backed by modern research (3) (4), this rare mushroom supports cellular ATP production and oxygen utilisation - the foundation of sustained mental stamina. Acting as the energy igniter in this blend, Cordyceps helps to fuel clarity without burnout, sharpening focus and awakening vitality. We use 100% organic fruiting body for purity and a full spectrum of cognitive-supporting compounds.
For most of history, women were the keepers of plant medicine - healers, midwives, herbalists who passed down knowledge through hands-on practice, storytelling, and ritual. Brave Tinctures honour this forgotten lineage. Each blend is a quiet act of reclamation: of the feminine, of intuition, of slow healing, of rhythms. In a world that still moves too fast, this is a return to a wisdom that was never truly lost.
The return of tinctures
Once a staple in every apothecary and kitchen, tinctures have been used for centuries across cultures to harness the power of plants. Fast-absorbing, long-lasting, and deeply potent, they offer a timeless method of restoration - reclaiming slow, intentional wellness in a world of quick fixes. Nature’s wisdom, revived for modern life, drop by drop.
Biodynamic Farm
Our herbs are grown on a certified organic and biodynamic farm where the land is treated as a living, interconnected system. Inspired by regenerative farming principles, this approach builds soil health, supports biodiversity, and works in sync with natural rhythms without the use of synthetic chemicals or pesticides.
Rooted in intuition
Herbs are nature’s intuitive gifts, offering powerful support when approached with understanding and care. Not every herb suits every person, as their benefits are deeply intertwined with individual needs and the natural rhythms of the body. Herbal wisdom invites us to listen closely to our bodies, observe how we respond, and trust in the ancient knowledge of plants. Need more guidance? We're here to help.
Brave return of plant wisdom: Origin Story of Brave Tinctures
Born out of a desire to unite modern formulation expertise with the legacy of plant wisdom, our tinctures offer highly concentrated, synergistic blends to support mental clarity, radiance, and immunity.
CAN I TAKE BRAVE TINCTURES IF I AM PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
While herbs and mushrooms can offer wonderful support, we do not recommend taking Brave Tinctures during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This is due to a lack of safety data on this specific blend during these life stages, as well as the presence of alcohol in the formulation. As always, we recommend speaking with your doctor or midwife before taking any supplements during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Since they know your personal health history, they're best placed to guide you.
CAN I TAKE ALL 3 BRAVE TINCTURES AT ONCE?
Yes, it is safe to take all three Brave Tinctures on the same day. Each tincture has a recommended dose of 1.5ml per day, taken directly under the tongue or diluted in liquid. In times of heightened need, it’s safe to take up to three doses daily. For best results however, we recommend spacing them out - one tincture at a time, with 3-4 hours between each. This allows your body to absorb each formula more effectively and supports optimal bioavailability, as well as helping you to understand which formula is working for you.
CAN I TAKE BRAVE TINCTURES IF I AM TAKING MEDICATION?
We’re unable to provide guidance on prescription medications or potential interactions. We always recommend discussing any supplements with your healthcare provider, as they can offer personalised advice based on your health history. While we can’t offer medical advice, we're here to support you with detailed product information and general nutrition questions.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY TO TAKE BRAVE TINCTURES?
Our Brave Tinctures are designed to be used intuitively - meaning you can adapt your use depending on what your body and mind need day to day or season to season. However, for daily use, we suggest a simple rhythm:
+ Brave Clarity in the morning to support energy, focus, and mental clarity. + Brave Immunity around midday to help build immune-supportive compounds throughout the day + Brave Glow in the evening or morning, ideally as part of a calming skincare ritual to nourish from the inside out.
HOW SHOULD I TAKE BRAVE TINCTURES FOR OPTIMAL BENEFITS?
For fast absorption, we recommend taking your tincture directly under the tongue and waiting 1–2 minutes before drinking water. This allows the active compounds to absorb effectively. Prefer to mix it into a drink? That’s fine too - just avoid boiling water or very hot liquids, as heat-sensitive ingredients may degrade at high temperatures. Mildly warm or cold drinks are ideal
IS IT NECESSARY TO CYCLE USE OR TAKE A BREAK?
Taking occasional breaks from adaptogens and herbs can help maintain their effectiveness and support your body’s natural rhythm, including liver function. While long-term daily use of tinctures hasn’t been extensively studied, they are traditionally used in cycles or as needed - for example, during seasonal transitions, or times of increased skin-stressors. We recommend tuning in to your body's needs and using the tinctures mindfully.
WHY ARE TINCTURES IN LIQUID FORM WITH ALCOHOL?
Alcohol is traditionally used in tinctures as an effective way to extract and preserve the beneficial compounds in herbs. It also allows the nutrients to remain in liquid form, which supports optimal absorption and efficient metabolism by the body. The alcohol content in our tinctures is very low. However, if you'd prefer to reduce it further, you can add your tincture to a warm drink—this may help some of the ethanol to evaporate before consumption.
