Roots Apothecary Immune Support Tincture

A Double-Extracted Herbal Tincture Traditionally Used to Support Immune & Respiratory Wellness

Roots Apothecary's Immune Support Tincture is a potent, double-extracted blend of wild-crafted and certified organic botanicals — including OSHA Root, Elderberry, Echinacea, and Astragalus — with a long tradition of use in herbal medicine for supporting the body's natural defenses during seasonal challenges.

What Makes This Tincture Different?

Most herbal products use a single extraction method. Roots Apothecary uses a double extraction process — first a 42-day alcohol extraction to capture alcohol-soluble compounds, then a second low-temperature water extraction to capture water-soluble constituents. The two extractions are combined into a single, full-spectrum tincture that preserves a broader range of each botanical's active compounds than either method alone.

What's Inside?

Wild-Crafted OSHA Root (Ligusticum porteri) — A revered botanical in Native American and Western herbal traditions, OSHA Root has a long history of traditional use for respiratory and immune wellness support. Wild-crafted for maximum potency.

Certified Organic Elderberry & Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) — Both the berry and flower of the elder plant are included, offering a broader spectrum of elderberry's traditionally valued constituents. One of the most widely used botanicals in traditional immune support formulas.

Certified Organic Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) — A foundational herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine with centuries of use for supporting vitality and the body's natural defenses, particularly during times of stress or seasonal change.

Certified Organic Echinacea Root & Herb (Echinacea spp.) — Both the root and aerial herb are used, providing a full-plant extract of one of the most studied botanicals in the Western herbal tradition for immune wellness support.

Certified Organic Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale) — A warming botanical with a long history of traditional use for supporting circulation, digestion, and overall vitality. Adds a synergistic warming quality to the blend.

Certified Organic Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) — Traditionally used to soothe and support mucous membranes, making it a complementary addition to respiratory and immune support formulas.

Certified Organic & Gluten-Free Cane Alcohol (40–55%), Reverse Osmosis Water, Certified Organic Vegetable Glycerin — Clean, high-quality extraction base with no unnecessary additives.

How Do You Use It?

Do not consume straight from the container. This tincture is highly concentrated and contains approximately 30% alcohol. Dilute 1.5 mL (60 drops / 1.5 droppers full) in at least 4 oz of water. May be taken 3–4 times daily, with or without food.

Who Is This For?

This tincture is a great fit for adults who want to incorporate traditionally used immune and respiratory support botanicals into their daily wellness routine — especially during seasonal transitions or periods of increased stress. It's formulated for those who value full-spectrum, double-extracted herbal quality over single-method products.

Why Roots Apothecary?

Roots Apothecary uses a rigorous double extraction process — a 42-day alcohol extraction followed by a low-temperature (140°F) water extraction — to capture the full range of each botanical's active constituents. All botanicals are certified organic or wild-crafted, and the base uses certified organic, gluten-free cane alcohol with reverse osmosis water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this tincture contain alcohol?
Alcohol is the most effective solvent for extracting and preserving a wide range of plant compounds. The finished tincture contains approximately 30% alcohol, which is why it must be diluted in water before use. The alcohol also acts as a natural preservative.

What is a double extraction?
Double extraction uses two separate methods — alcohol and water — to capture different classes of plant compounds. Alcohol-soluble and water-soluble constituents are extracted separately, then combined into a single full-spectrum tincture.

What is OSHA Root and why is it wild-crafted?
OSHA Root (Ligusticum porteri) is a mountain herb with deep roots in Native American herbal tradition, traditionally used for respiratory wellness. It is wild-crafted rather than farmed because it grows best in its native high-altitude habitat, and wild-crafted material is generally considered more potent.

Is this product certified organic?
All botanicals in this formula are either certified organic or wild-crafted. The extraction base uses certified organic, gluten-free cane alcohol and certified organic vegetable glycerin.
