FAQ
Garlic Tincture (Allium sativum) is a concentrated herbal preparation made from fresh garlic cloves using the traditional cold maceration method. Our carefully selected production process allows us to obtain a broad spectrum of naturally occurring plant compounds that give garlic its distinctive aroma and flavour.
During production, fresh garlic cloves are first finely chopped or crushed and left to rest for a short time. This allows the enzyme alliinase to naturally convert alliin into allicin. The crushed garlic is then combined with the prepared alcohol extraction solvent and left to macerate for at least three weeks. During this process, allicin gradually transforms into other characteristic sulphur-containing compounds.
We use a carefully selected extraction solvent containing 45% alcohol by volume, allowing us to extract various water-soluble and alcohol-soluble plant compounds. The result is a rich herbal extract that combines traditional herbal knowledge with a carefully considered production process.
Our garlic is grown in Slovenia and carefully selected by hand. Fresh cloves are processed with close attention to quality and respect for nature.

Garlic (Allium sativum)
Garlic is one of the oldest cultivated plants and has accompanied people for thousands of years. Its white cloves have a distinctive aroma, strong flavour and unmistakable character, which is why garlic has long been regarded as a plant with a powerful presence. It was not only part of everyday food, but also an important companion in traditional household herbalism.
Garlic belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family, together with onions, leeks and chives. The part most commonly used is the bulb (bulbus), which is made up of individual cloves, although the young leaves are also sometimes used in cooking.
Interestingly, throughout history garlic was regarded almost as a guardian of the home. People hung it above doorways, carried it with them on journeys and associated it with protection, strength and resilience. In many traditions, its powerful aroma was believed to drive away anything considered harmful – from stale air to “negative influences”. Even today, garlic is often associated with warmth, cleansing and a sense of inner alertness.
Traditionally, garlic is used during periods when people wish to support inner resilience, vitality and a sense of flow. It has long been valued as part of seasonal herbal routines, particularly during the colder months or whenever a stronger, warming herbal companion is desired. Its character is distinctive, penetrating and deeply earthy, which is why folk herbalism often associates garlic with strength, endurance and inner protection.
Garlic is also traditionally associated with maintaining balance in the body, a sense of inner freshness and everyday support during more demanding periods. It is often mentioned in connection with maintaining alertness, vitality and a sense of life force.
In folk tradition, garlic held an almost special status. Older generations often said that it was always worth keeping garlic in the home – not only in the kitchen, but also as part of the household herbal cupboard. It was simple, readily available and powerful, earning a reputation as a plant that “doesn’t say much, but gets on with the job”. Perhaps there is some old wisdom in that: garlic may not be gentle, but it is certainly dependable.

Can I take Garlic Tincture together with medication?
Caution is recommended when taking garlic alongside medication. Garlic contains a range of naturally active compounds and may interact with certain medicines or influence their effects.
Particular caution is advised with medicines that affect blood clotting, such as anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, as their effects may be increased. Caution may also be appropriate with medicines used to manage blood pressure or blood sugar levels.
If you regularly take medication or have been prescribed ongoing treatment, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Garlic Tincture. They can advise you based on your individual medication and circumstances.
In practice, people sometimes leave a 1–2 hour interval between a tincture and medication. However, separating them in time does not necessarily prevent an interaction and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice.
