​What is a Herbal Glycerite?

Herbal glycerites are liquid extracts made by infusing herbs in vegetable glycerin, a sweet, plant-based liquid. Glycerin serves as a solvent, extracting the active constituents, flavor, and energy of the herbs while preserving them. Glycerites are alcohol-free, making them a gentler alternative to tinctures, suitable for children, those avoiding alcohol, or individuals seeking a sweeter herbal preparation. These remedies are versatile, supporting wellness through medicinal, energetic, and magical properties.

Lavender (Lavandula spp.)

Lavender glycerite is pure calm in a bottle. Whether you’re battling stress, sleeplessness, or even a headache, its soothing touch is like a deep breath of fresh air. Its antimicrobial properties make it a great ally for skin health too. Energetically, lavender clears the mental clutter and brings a sense of peace, making it perfect for grounding or centering yourself. Magically, lavender enhances intuition and is often used in rituals for protection and purification, filling your space with peace and tranquility.

​How to Use Herbal Glycerites

Herbal glycerites are easy to use and can become a meaningful part of your daily routine. Take 1–2 droppers directly under your tongue or mix them into water, tea, or juice for a gentler taste. For deeper connection, try pairing your glycerite with a moment of mindfulness: pause, set an intention, and honor the plant’s energy as you take it. You can also incorporate them into rituals—use rose glycerite to open your heart before meditation, motherwort to ground yourself in challenging moments, or cacao to spark creativity during journaling. Let the plants guide you as you nurture both your body and spirit.
