Turmeric Root Tincture
This tincture was made with certified organic Turmeric (Curcuma longa).
It was extracted in 190 proof organic cane alcohol provided by The Organic Alchohol Co. out of Ashland Oregon.
The root was allowed to extract for a minimum of six weeks in a BPA-free glass vessel.
Some years ago I was living in quiet village on Lago Atitlan in Guatemala when I heard about a herb course across the country. I hopped on a few chicken buses and spent sixteen hours traveling a mere 100 kilometers…volcanic mountains.
When I finally arrived the class was cancelled because nobody had showed. But I ended up staying on this beautiful steep steep terraced farm for the next few days, with the most vibrant and aromatic turmeric and cacao. Curcuma has since become a very regular part of my diet.
