How to get a custom tincture blend from Farmacopia
So you herbalist “put in a custom blend” for you at the local herb shop. Farmacopia is a wonderful resource for Sonoma County. They ship and you can also pick up your tincture in person. Here are some easy instructions on getting that blend into your hands.
Know what your blend is called. It won’t Just be under your own name. It will be under the blend name. So, check your protocol message for details. As an example for this post we will use the imaginary blend name “Miriam’s Tummy”.
Call Farmacopia during business hours. 10am-6pm, and closed on Sundays. Their phone number is 707-528-4372.
Farmacopia asks that you give them 24 hours to blend your formula. They will also request that you pre-pay over the phone. At the time of this post Farmacopia was charging about 11 an oz.
You will need to tell them how much of your formula you would like to have blended. Your protocol message will have a suggested size to order. Typically I suggest 2 oz at first as a trial on new formulas. This will give us the chance to adjust and refine your blend before you invest a chunk of change on a larger bottle.
Take as suggested! Dosage will be written on the bottle. It is especially important that you take your tincture as suggested so that we have feedback to work with at our next appointment.
