Coltsfoot

Description

Coltsfoot Discussion:

Coltsfoot is very popular for its respiratory and lung support. 

Coltsfoot is a smokeable herb. It creates a coolness to the smoke and may lower the harshness of other herbs.  

Our coltsfoot is purchased as whole, aerial parts of the plant. It grinds down to a fibrous mass. Below you can find more details on the variations that we offer, as well as how we obtain and process them.

Herbal Product Variations

The sky is the limit! We offer our herbs in multiple methods of administration, which is simply a dramatic term referring to the ways that an herb can be taken. For example, you can get an herb as a standard tincture, a liposhperic/oxygenated tincture, vegetable glycerite, herbal tea, encapsulated, as a loose powder, an infused oil, detox soap, or topical ointment.

I am a firm advocate of saturation, which can be achieved by taking one herb, or blend, in two different variations. The more ways that you can use an herb, the saturated you will become. For example, choose the plant that you want support from and get multiple products, all of which go into the body in different ways. A liquid goes through tissues and into the blood, a powder goes through digestion, and don’t forget the navel, skin, and suppository inserts!

Get to know the herbs that you intend to use! Do its most medicinal compounds require heat, water, or alcohol extraction?

We take pride in the freshness and quality of our herbs. Many of our herbs are wildcrafted by us. We store them in whole form, to hand-grind, fresh – to order. If we cannot pick them, we first seek them out as wildcrafted and in whole form. We feel that wildcrafted is superior, ensuring a denser content of medicinal compounds, freshness, as well as higher enzymatic and antioxidant activity. Wildcrafting also allows us to include multiple parts of a plant. There is a natural synergy between the compounds that cannot be obtained by taking an extracted, single compound. For example, when you use the flower of the green tea plant, the leaf enzymatic activity can be enhanced by up to thousands of a percent! Wildcrafted herbs are always indicated on the label by the abbreviation “WC”.

Standard Tincture – Herbal compounds are extracted in an alcohol base. A tincture is considered to be the highest bioavailability, due to its superior absorption rate. The compounds do necessarily go through the digestion process, rather they are immediately ready for uptake by the tissues, by which they are transported directly into the bloodstream, and circulated to the organs. Tinctures are taken by adding droppers into water or juice. The dropper bulb does not completely fill up with a single squeeze. Yet one squeeze is considered to be “1 dropper”. Tinctures can also be taken by allowing the dropper’s content to sit under the tongue for 3+ minutes, then swallowing it down with a drink of water. Most of our customers find this method troublesome or impossible, especially if they are taking multiple tinctures. Therefore, you may add your droppers to a shot of water or juice. Tinctures of 4 oz. or less, come in a blue, glass dropper bottles. Tinctures of 8 oz. or more, come in blue, PET plastic bottles with a dropper.

Herbosomal/Lipospheric – The herbal world has still not caught up! We ARE the pioneers and first herbal company to offer lipospheric tinctures, as well as essential oils! The way the body utilizes them is similar to how the roots of plants use naturally collided nutrients from the soil!

Lipospheric products truly offer the highest-achievable bioavailability. This involves the same process that is used to create lipospheric vitamin c. The compounds go directly into the tissues and all that applies to a standard tincture can be applied to lipospheric products, and then some. This has been one of the most popular variations that our customers purchase.

In the lipospheric process, we put the product through an hour-long, alchemical, oxygenation application! The herbal and/or essential oil molecules are entrapped in tiny, microscopic bubbles, along with an oxygen molecule. There is an apparent color change of the liquid. Lipospheres are what the pharmaceutical industry uses for drug delivery. To ensure the highest bioavailability, keep your lipospheric products refrigerated. 

If there is trace essential oil in your product, the oil, oxygen, and water molecules are integrated. Normally, when you add essential oil to water, it floats on the top, separated from the solution. When you liposphere essential oil, it is incorporated and evenly dispersed throughout the entire solution. This means that every drop of liquid contains oil, water, and oxygen. No dilution is required, and it is ready for use. Tinctures of 4 oz. or less, come in a blue, glass dropper bottle. Those that are 8 oz. or more, come in blue, PET plastic bottles with a dropper.

Glycerite – Herbal compounds are extracted in a non-alcoholic base of vegetable glycerin. It contains NO alcohol and NO sugar. Although, the taste resembles a sugary syrup, which makes it ideal for children. This variation may also be idea for those sensitive. The only downfall of a glycerite is that it requires a dosage of up to three times higher than a standard tincture, to receive comparable benefits. Glycerites are also taken in the same way as a tincture, in a shot of water or juice. It comes with a dropper and one squeeze of a dropper only results in it being half-full. Still, it is considered to be “1 dropper”. A glycerite cannot be offered in lipohspheric form. Glycerites of 4 oz. or less, come in a blue, glass dropper bottle. Those that are 8 oz. or more, come in blue, PET plastic bottles with a dropper.

Vegetarian Capsules – We hand-grind and hand-encapsulate our products into vegetarian capsules when they are ordered. For this reason, we required a bit of extra time to ship your capsules. Most of our herbs come in size 00 capsules, which offer approximately 750 mg. of herb. Supplements, enzymes, and child/animal capsules come in small, size 1 capsules, which offer approximately 400 mg. of herb. The capsules can be swallowed with 4 oz. of water or juice.

The capsules are slowly dissolved during the digestion process. At which time the herb, or supplement, is released, also digested, and the compounds make their way through the intestinal tissues, and then into the bloodstream. The benefit of purchasing our capsules is the whole herbal form is hand-ground fresh and immediately encapsulated, never sitting on a store shelf. Our capsules come in a stand-up, sealable, mylar, EMF-proof bag.

Herbal Tea – Tea bags are whole herb, hand-ground, and then bagged, to order. There is approximately 1 tsp. of herb per bag. Each bag can be brewed up to three times, each making up to 3 cups of lovely tea. Constituents will be extracted with each brew. Be sure to squeeze the bag gently upon finishing your cup tea. Don’t forget the medicinal residue settled at the bottom of the cup!

We highly recommend making concentrated teas. Generally, this is done by boiling 8 oz. of water down by 1/2, resulting in a 4 oz. cup of tea. Each label specifies the brewing instructions for that specific herb. The boiling time, if any, will vary, depending on the parts of the plant used. Keep in mind that some herbs grind down to a fluffy powder, which create many more tea bags than a silky, fine powder.

It may be best to drink as is, without adding a sugar substitute. Herbal tea has an earthy flavor, intended for the medicinal benefits. You can also brew a large portion of tea, storing it in the fridge for up to 5 days. To get the most out of your tea, drink it throughout the day. Lemon may be added, although we do not recommend using honey with chronic illness. Our teas come in a stand-up, sealable, mylar, EMF-proof bag.

Loose Herbal Powder – Our herbs are wildcrafted, stored, and sourced in whole form, hand-ground when you order it, never sitting on a shelf. The powders come in a stand-up, sealable, mylar, EMF-proof bag.

Topical Ointment – We make an oil-based salve, infusing it with your herb of choice. Each ointment will be scented with the identical essential oil, if possible. Otherwise, we pair it with an essential oil with similar intentions. The salves come in a 4 oz. blue, PET jar with a seal-lined lid.

Infused Oil – We delicately infuse sunflower and jojoba oils with the herb of your choice. Each infused oil is scented with the identical essential oil, if possible. Otherwise, we pair it with an essential oil with similar intentions. Infused oils 4 oz. or less, come in a blue, glass dropper bottle. Those that are 8 oz. or more, come in blue, PET plastic bottles with a dropper.

Organic Detox Soap – We create organic soap, infused with your herb of choice, in 8 oz. portions. Each herbal soap is scented with the identical essential oil, if possible. Otherwise, we pair it with an essential oil with similar intentions. The sizes and shapes of the soaps may vary. We use many different molds. However, there will be a total of 8 oz. of weight, even if that requires sending an extra bar. Our soaps are wrapped in wax paper. 

All variations are child-safe, at the appropriate dosage. View our child & animal dosage guide by Clicking Here.
