Horseradish Tincture

The horseradish root is grown and harvested on KoruKai Herb Farm, then hand-processed to create this amazing horseradish root extract.

Dosage: Take 5-115 drops in a small amount of water, up to 3 times per day, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

If you choose to incorporate a tincture, start with low, diluted doses, monitor for any adverse reactions, and consider discussing it with a healthcare professional—especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

One full dropper is 1ml, which equals 20-30 drops.

Horseradish can be quite potent and may cause gastrointestinal distress or irritation in some individuals. It’s advisable to start with small doses to assess your body's reaction.

Avoid using horseradish tincture if you have certain medical conditions, especially thyroid disorders or kidney issues. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new herbal remedy.
