Chronic Fatigue & Exhaustion Tincture

The goal of this tincture is to utilize the natural antioxidants of the herbs, known as “flavonoids” while discarding inactive fibers, terpenes, and chlorophylls. The synergy of the combined isolated flavonoids in this formula causes an increase of proper blood flow and better circulation, thereby promoting energy and stamina. Ultimately, all symptoms of fatigue and exhaustion can be overcome by using this remedy.



By increasing short term physical and mental energy levels, taken regularly, this tincture will have you always feeling energetic and spry. Despite the depletion of nutrients due to excessive masturbation, this formula compensates by replacing what is lost as well as contributing other factors that benefit overall health. The inclusion of Astragulus, for example, introduces necessary components such as amino acids and trace minerals.

It has no side effects and can actually strengthen immunity to infections. Meanwhile, Licorice is known to stimulate the adrenal glands and block the breakdown of cortisol in the body. (Chronic fatigue has been attributed to adrenal gland dysfunction and cortisol is needed for healthy stress response).

Discussion & Tips

Among the herbs featured in this solution is Cimicifuga. It clears body of excessive heat and resolves toxicity. There’s also Codonopsis Pilosula, which contributes to the flourishing of blood and fluids while tonifying the ‘middle burner’. For cooling the blood and calming restless irritability, Lycium is added.

Most herbal tinctures are prepared using alcohol as a solvent. If you can’t consume alcohol use Apple Cider Vinegar or Wine Vinegar instead. It is recommended to store them in the refrigerator, but be sure to label the jars clearly in order to prevent other family members from inadvertently drinking your tincture. Avoid using plastic containers at all costs. The ethanol in the tincture may solubilize some of the free vinyl substances in the plastic and some PBA might leak out. Never use stainless steel containers for long-term storage.

If the tiny fragments of residue passing through the cheesecloth concern you, filter them twice through a paper coffee filter.
