All of our Glycerites are created in small batches of only 16 bottles at a time to ensure the highest quality standards. Glycerites are extracted using organic vegetable glycerin rather than alcohol. Most are alcohol-free, sweet-tasting, and an ideal choice for adding to teas or other foods.
Glycerites are generally preferred for energy work when working with children, those with compromised systems, or those who prefer an alcohol-free preparation. They are considered gentle enough for daily use and to support long-term, slow, steady energetic changes.
