What is an adaptogen?

Adaptogens are herbs that help the body adapt to stress physically, mentally, and emotionally. They work by supporting your body’s ability to return to balance, especially during periods of strain or overactivity.

What is a nervine?

Nervines are herbs that support the nervous system. Some calm you down, like passionflower and rose. Others help rebuild your resilience, like milky oats. Some gently stimulate clarity, like rosemary. They help your system soften, reset, and respond more intelligently to life.

How do I use a tincture?

Drop your dose into a glass of water, tea, or beverage of your choice. Each product includes suggested servings and guidance for best results.

Do your tinctures contain alcohol?

Yes. Our formulas use a blend of glycerin, alcohol and water to extract the full medicinal profile of each herb. Alcohol helps release both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds, while glycerin softens the taste.

What kind of glycerin do you use?

We use coconut derived vegetable glycerin that is USP grade, palm free and sustainably sourced. It adds a smooth, slightly sweet finish to each formula.

Are your products organic?

Yes. We use organic, sustainably sourced herbs from small farms and trusted wild harvesters. All formulas are also gluten free, vegan, and soy free with no fillers or artificial additives.

How do I choose the right tincture for me?

Each formula is crafted for a different state of being. Bliss supports emotional lightness and creative flow. Balance helps with grounding and regulation. Focus is designed for clarity and stamina.

Can I take more than one tincture at once?

Yes. Our formulas are made to work together. You can take different tinctures throughout the day or combine small doses in one ritual. Start slow and listen to your body.

What makes a-DAPTE different from other tincture brands?

a-DAPTE bridges ancient plant wisdom with modern science and honors both. We highlight the personality of each herb, use time tested extraction methods, and create visuals and language that reflect both chemistry and emotional resonance.

When should I take my tincture?

You can take your tincture any time. Bliss works well during emotional or creative blocks. Focus supports work, movement, or mentally active moments. Balance is best when you feel stressed or off center.
