Botanical Tincture For Loose Vagina
Vaginal looseness isn’t always a problem, necessarily. Sure, childbirth is a primary factor contributing to the condition, but it can also occur naturally as well. In fact, just as some women are born with a metabolism that keeps them thin while others are naturally big-boned, so, too, may someone be pre-disposed to be tight or loose. However, some women find that it becomes an issue during sex. Perhaps their partner is not well endowed, which, when combined with a loose vagina, results in little or no friction. Hurtful and immature ‘blame games’ may result. This is one of the primary reasons women seek to tighten their vagina.
Fortunately, there are herbal supplements that can help restore vaginal tightness. In fact, the ones found this tincture have been used successfully for ages in Eastern cultures. Herbs such as Astragalus Membranaceus (Huang Qi) are often used for treating the common cold and upper respiratory infections, to strengthen and regulate the immune system and to increase the production of blood cells. It is an antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant tonic also used for treating breast, cervical, and lung cancers.
Meanwhile, Dong Quai is typically used for gynecological ailments. It’s effects are far reaching, treating fatigue, mild anemia and high blood pressure, too. When combined with the energy of the other herbs in this formula, its antioxidant activity provides necessary revitalization for vaginal restoration.

One of the oldest medicinal practices is the formulation of a “tincture”, an extraction of active compounds from plant material using alcohol as solvent. The active ingredients in herbs are best and most easily extracted by alcohol. A primary purpose of the extraction is to isolate and secure various anti-oxidant compounds known as “flavonoids” that are beneficial to human health. Once prepared, it is best to store your tincture in a airtight dark glass container and keep it at - or below - room temperature
Preparation
- Pour the herbal blend into the jar, up to between a quarter to half of its capacity (20 oz)
- Add Vodka, Rum or Brandy just above the level of the herbs.
- Seal the jar (tightly, to prevent leakage or evaporation)
- Store the jar in a dry and dark area.
- Add more alcohol over the next few days, allowing the dried herbs to soak and expand.
- Store the jar for two weeks to three months.
Ready to Drink
- Strain the tincture through a sieve with cheesecloth into another clean jar or storage container.
- Extract the remaining tincture by squeezing the saturated herbs and transfer it into a dropper bottle. Refrigerate it.
- Take two teaspoons right after lunch and dinner. If you can’t stand the taste, dilute it with water, juice, or tea.
Discussion&Tips
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.
