Geranium Tincture - Pelargonium sidoides Tincture

Single herbal tincture made with dried root of Pelargonium sidoides (Cape geranium).

The Cape geranium, also known as Pelargonium sidoides, is a South African geranium species that has been part of indigenous herbal lore for centuries. The locals call it 'umckaloabo'. This plant thrives in the wild among tall grass and aromatic flower beds on the slopes of the Cape coast. It has soft, velvety gray-green leaves and deep magenta-colored flowers. The dried and ground rhizomes are dark red in color. They have a soothing effect on the airways and are therefore suitable for providing support for airway problems.

Pelargonium sidoides is an unassuming plant that grows profusely in sun-warmed, stony soil in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and the grasslands of Lesotho. It belongs to the Geraniaceae family. Originally, the Pelargoniums brought to Europe looked very similar to common geraniums, but now we know that there is a big difference between the South African 'geranium' and the geraniums we know in our gardens. In the wild, the plant only occurs in a few small areas in South Africa, but fortunately it is now also grown on South African plantations.
