The great thing about the tincture is that not only can you use it like you would any other tincture but you can put it in a spray bottle and use it as a spray for bug bites and stings. Spray into your mouth for dental issues, or spray on open wounds and ulcers without making a poultice or tea. Definitely not recommended for eye issues
