Why I No Longer Sell Tinctures Online (And Where You Can Buy Them)
Jul 15, 2024
As many of you know, my mission with Mandala Wellness is to provide high-quality, trustworthy herbal education and products to my community. Recently, I've had to make some changes regarding how I offer tinctures for sale, and I want to explain why and how you can still access the herbal remedies you love.
Why I Stopped Selling Tinctures Online
Due to stringent legal requirements, including the necessity of maintaining a commercial kitchen, I can no longer sell tinctures directly through the website. Under the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDAC) regulations, selling herbal products online without a commercial kitchen is not permitted. While I always take appropriate safety and sanitary measures in my apothecary and when making herbal medicine, there are extra labor and equipment requirements that are necessary to maintain a commercial kitchen that don't match up with what our team is able to support and maintain in our current apothecary. As we work towards meeting these requirements, I want to ensure you still have access to the best herbal products.
My Commitment to Quality
My commitment to providing safe and effective herbal remedies remains unwavering. I believe in transparency and quality. While our products meet necessary requirements for licensure, aspects of our current apothecary space do not. This means we are only allowed to sell our products in our office and to our local community at markets, according to cottage law. This law prohibits online sales, selling via mail across state lines, and having online order forms.
Where to Buy Recommended Tinctures
As we are limited by the rule and regulations of the Virginia Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Services, I have curated a list of recommended tinctures that you can purchase through trusted suppliers. These tinctures meet my high standards, and I have included affiliate links to make it easy for you to find and purchase them.
