Premium Mullein Leaf Glycerite Tincture (1:4) — 100% Alcohol-Free
Our premium Mullein Leaf Glycerite Tincture (1:4) is a practitioner-grade, 100% alcohol-free liquid extract crafted to deliver the full demulcent and soothing profile of mature Verbascum thapsus L. leaves. Sourced exclusively from choice cultivated crops in the pristine Bulgarian mountains, this botanical material is processed using an advanced 50°C controlled-temperature, sequential double-pass acoustic extraction protocol. The result is a dense, deeply saturated, pitch-black fluid extract suspended in a palm-free organic rapeseed glycerine base with dispensary-grade Reverse Osmosis (RO) water, offering uncompromised demulcent support for professional clinical dispensing and home herbalism alike. 🌿 Practitioner-Grade Mullein Leaf Liquid Extract (Verbascum thapsus) | 100% Alcohol-Free "A deeply soothing, non-alcoholic respiratory companion, engineered via low-thermal viscosity optimization and sequential double-pass acoustic cavitation to yield a dense, pitch-black fluid extract packed with pristine Bulgarian mountain Mullein leaf demulcents." Crafted in Great Britain, this practitioner-grade Mullein (Verbascum thapsus L.) glycerite is an exceptional alternative to traditional hydroethanolic extracts. Specially designed for individuals seeking a pure, non-alcoholic daily protocol, this formulation utilizes an ultra-pure organic vegetable glycerine base to extract and preserve Mullein's delicate mucilage, iridoid glycosides, and saponin complexes. By utilizing precise thermal optimization and sequential re-extraction, we deliver a naturally sweet, highly concentrated, opaque dark botanical fluid that supports a smooth, comfortable respiratory environment. ⚡ Advanced 50°C Viscosity-Optimized & Sequential Double-Pass Extraction To achieve a genuinely concentrated 1:4 practitioner-grade extract without using alcohol, this glycerite undergoes a specialized, multi-stage extraction protocol engineered for heavy vegetable glycerine vehicles: 50°C Controlled Viscosity Optimization: Pure vegetable glycerine is naturally dense and viscous at room temperature, which dampens acoustic wave movement. By gently warming the menstruum to a strict, controlled 50°C, we reduce the fluid's surface tension and viscosity. This allows ultrasonic cavitation waves to travel cleanly through the liquid, maximizing cell wall penetration while remaining safely below thermal degradation thresholds for delicate plant mucilages and glycosides. Sequential Double-Pass Re-Extraction (Double Enrichment): Rather than a simple single-pass soak, our process utilizes a true sequential enrichment protocol. The menstruum is first acoustically extracted across a 1kg batch of Bulgarian Mullein leaf. This rich, active liquid extract is then immediately reclaimed and fused across a second 1kg batch of fresh Mullein leaf. This double-pass sequential loading forces maximum physical saturation, pulling deep iridoid glycosides (aucubin, catalpol), flavonoids, verbascosides, and dense plant pigments into solution. In-House Reverse Osmosis Filtration: We adjust our extraction menstruum exclusively using our own professional Reverse Osmosis (RO) purification system, plumbed directly into our dispensary mains. By filtering the water dynamically on-site under high pressure, we ensure the water component is at peak freshness and entirely stripped of heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, and municipal residues. 🧪 Technical Solvent Specification: Palm-Free Organic Glycerine The stabilizing base vehicle used in this tincture is engineered to meet rigorous dispensary standards: EP/USP Certified Purity: We utilize a premium 99.5% pure Organic vegetable glycerine base. 100% Palm-Free Sourcing: To prevent global deforestation and ecological damage, our glycerine is strictly palm-free, derived exclusively from sustainable European rapeseed (Brassica napus). Low-Glycemic Stability: Holding a final density of 69% organic vegetable glycerine, this vehicle acts as a powerful natural preservative while providing a pleasant, low-glycemic, and tooth-friendly taste that coats the throat comfortably. 🌿 Traditional Properties & Herbal Energetics of Mullein Leaf Revered across centuries of European herbalism and traditional Western dispensary practice, Mullein leaf (Verbascum thapsus L., Family: Scrophulariaceae) is the classic botanical guardian of the breathing pathways: Herbal Energetics & Affinities: Classified energetically as Cooling, Moistening (Demulcent), Slightly Bitter, and Mildly Astringent. It holds a primary affinity for the lungs, bronchial trees, respiratory mucous membranes, and throat pathways. Respiratory Clearing & Mucus-Harmonizing Dynamics: Rich in native plant mucilage, Mullein coats, lubricates, and hydrates dry, irritated tissues along the upper and lower respiratory tracts, encouraging physical ease during environmental changes or seasonal dryness. Mucus-Harmonizing Dynamics: The natural saponin content within Verbascum thapsus helps loosen stagnant particulate matter and fluid build-up, supporting the body's natural ciliary clearance mechanisms. Synergistic Compounding: In our dispensary, Mullein Leaf Glycerite pairs exceptionally well with Marshmallow Root Glycerite for extra hydration, Thyme for active respiratory clearing, or Plantain Leaf to soothe delicate bronchial tissues. ☕ How to Administer Your Tincture Suggested Adult Dosage: Unless instructed otherwise by a qualified Medical Herbalist or your healthcare practitioner, the traditional daily dosage ranges from 2ml to 5ml (approx. 20 to 50 drops), taken 2 to 3 times daily. Dispensary Directions: Take your dose diluted in a small glass of water, warm water, or a herbal infusion (such as Chamomile or Thyme tea). Can also be held briefly in the throat before swallowing for direct demulcent contact. Important: Shake well before use! Because this is a genuine, heavily saturated 1:4 double-extracted leaf extract, it presents as a deep, opaque, near pitch-black fluid. This intense dark color is direct visual proof of maximum physical saturation; a light natural plant settling may occur, and shaking ensures a uniform distribution of active constituents in every drop. ⚠️ Important Safety Guidelines & Contraindications Fine Hair Filtration Assurance: Raw Mullein leaf is covered in microscopic, stellate plant hairs (trichomes) that can irritate the throat if un-filtered. Our dispensary utilizes a multi-stage micro-filtration protocol to guarantee that 100% of these fine hairs are completely removed from the final jet-black liquid. Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Deemed generally gentle and safe; however, use during pregnancy or lactation should always be undertaken under the direct guidance of a qualified Medical Herbalist or GP. Medical Conditions & Interactions: Well-tolerated with no known major pharmaceutical contraindications. If managing chronic obstructive respiratory conditions or taking prescription pulmonary medications, consult your healthcare provider before beginning new daily protocols. 📊 Technical Specifications & Tincture Ingredients Identification Metric Laboratory Verified Standard Ingredients Organic Rapeseed Vegetable Glycerine 99.5% (69% vol), Reverse Osmosis Filtered Water, Premium Bulgarian Mountain Mullein Leaf (Verbascum thapsus L.).

A: That deep, pitch-black color is direct visual proof of our 50°C sequential double-pass extraction process! Weak, mass-market glycerites look pale or translucent because passive soaking barely pulls out plant material. By double-loading fresh Mullein leaf through 50°C organic glycerine under acoustic cavitation, we achieve a dense, deeply saturated fluid packed with native plant mucilage, polyphenols, and pigments. Q: Why do you heat the glycerine menstruum to 50°C during extraction? A: Vegetable glycerine is naturally very thick and viscous at room temperature, which dampens ultrasonic waves. Heating the menstruum to a gentle 50°C thins the liquid just enough for acoustic cavitation waves to travel freely and penetrate the tough plant cells. This temperature is carefully controlled to prevent any thermal damage to Mullein's delicate mucilages or iridoid glycosides. Q: What does Sequential Double-Pass Extraction mean? A: Instead of doing a simple single extraction, we extract our 8-litre glycerine batch across a 1kg batch of Mullein leaf, and then immediately reuse that same concentrated liquid to extract across a fresh second 1kg batch of Mullein leaf. This double-pass process forces maximum physical saturation, creating a rich, potent 1:4 practitioner-grade extract. Q: Are the tiny prickly hairs on Mullein leaf filtered out of this glycerite? A: Yes, completely. Raw Mullein leaves are covered in microscopic, stellate hairs (trichomes) that can irritate the throat if un-filtered. Our dispensary utilizes a multi-stage precision micro-filtration process that completely removes all fine physical plant hairs while leaving the liquid mucilage, flavonoids, and active compounds intact. Q: How does Mullein Leaf Glycerite taste? A: It has a soft, pleasant, naturally sweet flavor provided by the organic rapeseed glycerine, underlying a light, earthy, tea-like vegetable note from the leaf. Because it contains 0% alcohol, it does not burn or sting, making it easy to hold in the throat for direct local demulcent coating.
