Individuals with inflammatory skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne have been praising the effectiveness of this formula for years. The ingredients have hundreds of years of traditional use behind them. Modern clinical and laboratory work confirms that they are effective alteratives for treating skin disorders.
Through their mechanisms that serve to eliminate systemic toxins, alteratives are a mainstay of naturopathic medical practice for the treatment of many conditions, but especially of chronic skin disease. Skin inflammations are one of the most common manifestations of systemic toxicity. By aiding the elimination of toxins by way of the proper channels – liver, kidneys and bowel – this formula reduces the toxin load on the skin, thus leaving it rejuvenated and whole. The herbs in this combination were all chosen as exemplary alteratives acting synergistically on all aspects of elimination.
Administration: (adults) take 30-60 drops (1-2 ml) 3X daily in a little water, on an empty stomach.
Contra-indications and Cautions: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are on prescription medication or if you have been diagnosed with a medical condition. Not for use in children, except as recommended by a health care practitioner. Do not exceed recommended dose. Do not take this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not take this product if you have an allergy to the Asteraceae family. Reduce dosage or discontinue use if you experience a hypersensitivity reaction.
The body’s normal channels of elimination are overloaded by their burden of toxins. As a result, the body employs a secondary channel by way of the skin. That’s why treatments like colonic irrigation and hydrotherapy can also improve these kinds of conditions, since they boost the removal of toxins from the system by other means.
Available in bottle sizes of 50ml, 100ml, and 250ml.
A NOTE ON TINCTURES
Tinctures are more readily absorbed by the body and have a high degree of bio-availability. As well, they have a long shelf life.
Sometimes people ask us why tinctures are alcohol-based. There are very good reasons. Alcohol is critically important in the extraction of an herb's medicinal ingredients. It also helps to stabilize and preserve them. Alcohol is the ideal carrier substance, conveying the therapeutic goodness of the herb to the body. In itself, too, science has proven that alcohol enhances the immune system and its defences.
As for the amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn that it's about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!
Tinctures remain the most practical way to take advantage of the amazing, health-giving power of herbs.

Testimonials
My patients have experienced such dramatic results from your products...
“I have been in practice since 1991, and I believe that I have been a customer of St. Francis Herb Farm for that long as well. My patients have experienced such dramatic results from your products, that I have never had a reason to even consider another supplier for tinctures. I wouldn’t even know where to begin in choosing a particular favorite product.
Your Ear Oil worked `on contact’ with my patients, which includes my own children. Your Oregano Oil out-performs antibiotics on resistant infections. Your Calendula Cream works as good as cortisone. Most of all, I regularly experience success with your various tinctures with my cancer patients (my special area of interest).
When products are high quality, patients get results, and that makes me a very happy naturopath.
Thank you.”
