It took a while for me to do this post because I really wanted to observe the effects of Dragontree's tinctures. For the Sleep Support and Headache Relief tinctures, the outcome is immediate; but for the Weight Loss and Immune Support, well, the effects of those two will take much longer to become noticeable.
Dragontree Apothecary is a Portland-based company known to manufacture all-natural products that targets common conditions we experience such as stress, headache, allergies, muscle soreness, weight issues, and skin problems. I've tried a couple of their products, and here's my humble take on them:
SLEEP SUPPORT
Ingredients: Mother of Pearl, Reishi Mushroom, Corydalis, Poria Mushroom Heart
I was really fascinated by their tinctures, specifically the Sleep Support. I've been having trouble sleeping since my early teens. Warm milk, counting sheeps and the rest of the animals barely work. I refuse to take prescription meds because they're addictive. I take Tylenol PM or NyQuil sometimes, but the problem with those - aside from hepatotoxicity - is the groggy feeling the day after. I didn't get that with Dragontree's Sleep Support. The sleep-inducing effect is not as strong and not as fast, but it gets the job done, and also I feel more rested when I use it. It doesn't force you to sleep; it helps you sleep in a natural way.
Ingredients: Ligusticum Root, Rosemary, Vitex Berry, Pueraria Root, Bupleurum Root
Dragontree's Headache Relief is fast and immediate! I just squeeze two dropperfuls in my mouth at the onset of headache. I have to warn you though, the taste {like all other tinctures} is not the best in the world, but gets the job done! Mixing it with a little bit of warm water in a cup helps.

Weight Loss
Ingredients: Gynostemma, Chinese Hawthorn Berry, Lotus Leaf, White Atractylodes
This is not a magic potion. It takes time to see the result. The key word here is 'support'. This supports a healthy diet and exercise. I don't think that drinking this alone would make me achieve a Victoria Secret-esque bod. I need divine intervention for that. Anyway, I noticed that my digestive tract were pretty much active when I was taking this, and I really like that! I have that 'backed up' feeling sometimes, and I hate it. That went kaput while I was still taking this.
Immune
Ingredients: American Ginseng, Reishi Mushroom, Cordyceps Mushroom, Tulsi, Ashwagandha
If there's one thing I can boost in my body, the immune system would be my ultimate target. It's our body's line of defense against illness-causing microbes! The outcome is not immediate just like the Weight Loss Support, but I believe in its potential due to one potent immune system enhancer: Reishi Mushroom. It's been dubbed as the "Elixir of Mortality" and the "King of Herbs." It's been proven to strengthen the immune system and lower blood pressure, too!
Relax Exfoliating Soap
I love this exfoliating soap! It smells so good and has ground pumice stone, lavender, and powdered Mother of Pearl! The soap is embedded with loofah, too! According to Dragontree's site, this soap "exfoliates away dead
skin, invigorates circulation, unclogs pores, nourishes the skin, and promotes
detoxification and fat metabolism."
