Oink (Sweetgum) Tincture (1oz dropper)

What It Is A potent small-batch tincture crafted from the sweetgum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua) — a forest medicine rich in shikimic acid, the same natural compound that inspired the creation of several modern antiviral formulas. Here on the farm, we call this our OINK Tincture — a playful nod to its seasonal use when everyone starts sniffling, coughing, or “oinking.” Each batch begins with wildcrafted sweetgum pods and bark, carefully hand-foraged, dried, and extracted in 90 proof organic grain alcohol for maximum potency and shelf stability. This tincture is formulated as part of our seasonal defense collection — supporting immune health, respiratory comfort, and recovery during cold and flu months. Why You’ll Love It Contains shikimic acid, a powerful plant compound known to support the body’s natural immune defenses. Made from wild Missouri sweetgum trees we gather ourselves. Extracted slowly for a full-spectrum profile of volatile oils, tannins, and resins. Shelf-stable and ready to add to your home apothecary for years to come. 100% wildcrafted, alcohol-based, and small-batch — just like all of our WCF herbal remedies. How to Use Extract dosages can be measured in drops, dropperfuls, milliliters (mL), teaspoons (Tsp), or pumps/sprays depending on your bottle type. 1 dropperful ≈ 30 drops (1 mL) 4 dropperfuls ≈ 3 mL (a common WCF dose) 7 pumps from our pump tops ≈ 3 mL 1 teaspoon (Tsp) ≈ 5 mL Typical dosage: ➡️ 30–60 drops (1–2 dropperfuls) diluted in an 8-ounce glass of water, up to 3 times daily as needed. For more acute support, doses may be taken more frequently. Always start low and increase gradually as needed. Ingredients Wildcrafted Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) 90 Proof Organic Grain Alcohol Distilled Water Texture & Scent Notes A warm, resinous extract with deep forest undertones — slightly woody, subtly sweet, and reminiscent of amber and spice. Shelf Life & Storage Because this tincture is set in 90 proof organic grain alcohol, it remains shelf-stable for 5+ years when kept in a cool, dark place. Farm Notes Sweetgum trees grow abundantly across the Ozarks and have long been used as traditional medicine for respiratory infections, flu-like symptoms, and wound healing. The pods — those spiky “gumballs” found underfoot — are surprisingly rich in shikimic acid, a natural plant compound that supports the body’s innate immune response. When combined with your other favorite WCF seasonal formulas (like Elderberry Elixir or Fire Cider), it becomes a powerful ally for home herbal care.
