Herbal tinctures.

Motherwort tincture, dark olive-brown and boldly bitter, made from aerial parts cut at first bloom along half-wild fence lines and field edges.

$27.00

A tincture pressed from burdock's long, dark taproot alone: bitter, earthy and faintly sweet underneath, taken in a little water before meals in the old bitters tradition.

$20.50

Small, dense chewable tablets of licorice root with most of its glycyrrhizin removed, deep with malt and anise, to chew or let melt slowly before a meal.

$19.00

Finely milled slippery elm inner bark from sustainably managed Appalachian trees, stirred into warm water as a smooth, old-fashioned gruel.

$16.00

Pale, linen-colored marshmallow root, harvested young in the Balkans and steeped cold overnight into a smooth, mild, faintly silky tea to sip through the day, chilled or gently war

$13.50

A tincture of fresh flowering skullcap, Scutellaria lateriflora, deep amber-green and faintly grassy: a plain roadside herb that nineteenth-century American herbalists held in high

$23.50

Fresh lemon balm leaf, picked and macerated the same day in cane alcohol, so the tincture keeps the bright citrus snap of a leaf crushed between two fingers.

$18.00

Passionflower leaf, stem and flower, extracted 1:4 in 40% grain alcohol: a deep olive-brown tincture, faintly grassy, for a quiet evening ritual.

$21.50

A garnet-dark cordial of frost-picked hawthorn berries from the Carpathian foothills, rounded with raw honey: plummy, tart and faintly of the hedgerow.

$24.00

Ginkgo biloba leaf extract in capsules, from the oldest tree species alive: one with breakfast, one with lunch.

$32.00

True Mitcham peppermint, grown in England and extracted 1:4 in 50% alcohol: startlingly cold on the tongue, then slowly warm, for a dropper in warm water after dinner.

$14.50

Stinging nettle and dandelion root steeped into a bracing green bitters, murky and mineral, for ten drops on the tongue before you sit down to eat.

$17.50

A whole-plant tincture of purple coneflower, root, leaf and flower steeped together, with the faint tingling bite of a lively extract, traditionally taken for a few days at a time.

$16.00

Chamomile flowers and lemon balm leaf, two old cottage-garden herbs, in one warm amber-gold tincture that smells of apple and citrus, stirred into warm water after supper.

$15.50

Milk thistle seed extract (silymarin) in capsules: the seed of the marbled-leaf thistle Pliny wrote of and medieval monks grew in cloister gardens.

$19.00

Whole valerian root from the Balkans, extracted 1:5 in 45 percent alcohol: pungent, earthy and unmistakable, a dropper in water as the house goes quiet.

$17.00

Black elderberry syrup with zinc, thick and nearly black, jammy and tart with a thread of clove: a spoonful through the cold months, straight or stirred into hot water.

$16.50

Ashwagandha root from the sandy soils of Rajasthan, slowly macerated into a bitter, earthy tincture for a daily ritual.
