People Product Herbals

The “Maceration” often used for Eagle Peak Herbals “people-products” is a time-honored, slow method of herbal extraction. The healing constituents of an herb are transferred to either organic corn, or cane alcohol or pure vegetable glycerin in combination with distilled water. Unlike pills and capsules, these concentrated plant extracts, or tinctures, enter the bloodstream quickly. They can go right under the tongue and not have to be broken down by the digestive system or be put into water or juice. This process preserves the potency of an herb and they last for years. Glycerin extracts are usually gentler and well suited for children and people with allergies or aversions to alcohol. They are slower to be absorbed into the bloodstream and have a shorter shelf life than the alcohol extracts.
We use only certified organic gluten free cane or corn alcohol and pure vegetable glycerin sourced from coconut leaf in our micro-batch processing of hand selected organic or wild herbs. We often are able to use fresh herbs in season that retain their full vitality.
