Sweet Gum Tincture – 1oz

Description

Traditional Botanical Support Rooted in American Herbalism

You may know it as the tree with the star-shaped leaves and spiky little seed balls scattered across the ground — but sweet gum has a much deeper history.

Liquidambar styraciflua, commonly called American sweetgum, has been valued in traditional herbal practices for generations. Different parts of the tree have historically been prepared as herbal teas, extracts, resins, and other botanical preparations.

Rebel Remedy Sweet Gum Tincture captures this traditional North American botanical in a convenient concentrated liquid extract.

Why Sweet Gum?

Sweetgum naturally contains an assortment of plant constituents, including phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, and other naturally occurring phytochemicals.

It is also known as a botanical source of shikimic acid, a naturally occurring organic compound found in several plants.

Traditionally, sweet gum has been valued for:

• Seasonal botanical wellness
• Respiratory wellness support
• Digestive wellness
• Supporting the body’s natural defenses
• Providing naturally occurring botanical compounds
• Complementing a traditional herbal wellness routine

A Botanical With Deep Roots

Sweetgum has a long history in North American traditional herbalism.

Its aromatic resin was historically known as American storax, while other portions of the tree were prepared in teas and herbal preparations for a variety of traditional purposes.

What may look like an ordinary backyard tree is actually a fascinating botanical with a rich ethnobotanical history.

Naturally Occurring Shikimic Acid

One of the compounds that makes sweetgum particularly interesting is shikimic acid.

Shikimic acid occurs naturally in several plants, including sweetgum, and is widely studied in botanical and pharmaceutical research.

It is important to understand that the presence of shikimic acid does not mean sweetgum tincture is equivalent to any prescription medication or that it is intended to treat viral illness. Instead, it is simply one of the naturally occurring constituents that makes Liquidambar styraciflua an interesting botanical.
