Immunity Booster DIY……
What Is a Tincture?
A tincture is a simple herbal extraction made by soaking herbs in alcohol or glycerin to draw out their beneficial properties. It’s one of the most effective and shelf-stable ways to preserve and use the power of plants. Just a few drops a day can deliver potent wellness benefits in a compact, natural form.
Why Lemon and Eucalyptus Work So Well Together
Lemon and eucalyptus are like a match made in herbal heaven — one bright and cleansing, the other grounding and healing.
Lemon: High in vitamin C and natural detoxifiers, lemon supports digestion, boosts immunity, and uplifts your mood. It also helps clear the body of sluggish toxins while brightening your mind with its clean, citrus aroma.
Eucalyptus: Known for its respiratory benefits, eucalyptus is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and helps open airways, ease congestion, and soothe the nervous system.
Together, they create a tincture that’s both energizing and healing, supporting your body’s natural defenses and refreshing your spirit.
