benefits
natural tobacco containing active ingredient nicotine: tobacco is an effective treatment for Alopecia and Dandruff. Tobacco contains the skin-friendly Vitamin C, which has been effective in treating various skin disorders like eczema, burns and other skin infections. It also contains benefits for teeth and gums in treating bleeding gums, toothache, cavities, halitosis, yellow stains on the teeth and few other. Few drops of fresh tobacco juice extracted from its leaves when dropped into the ear have been proven to aid hearing and few other ear disorders. Tobacco even provides relief from a venomous snake bite by reducing the potency of the poison.
As most of us know, tobacco leaves contain nicotine, as a specific organic compound, which in the very low concentrations can be beneficial for brain relaxation. Nicotine, a powerful nootropic, is a natural liquid alkaloid found in several plants of the nightshade family. Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and tobacco all contain nicotine. Tobacco has the highest nicotine content, making it capable of a significant effect on living beings.
nicotine in itself is not harmful and has been associated with several health benefits. In fact, nicotine is the least harmful among the substances found in cigarettes. Nicotine from tobacco, when used independently in the form of a standalone patch, can help cognitive function without requiring exposure to any of the dangerous toxins found in cigarettes. It appears that using nicotine can enhance cognitive capacity and offer neuro-protection, some scientific evidence suggests. For example, using nicotine is known to help people in solving complex calculations, considering analytical problems, producing technical writing, and taking exams.
Nicotine promotes wakefulness, alertness, motivation, and creativity. Further, nicotine has proven beneficial in several health conditions including dementia, depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease thus bringing this drug under the scope of large-scale research.
The following are some of the potential benefits of this nootropic drug and its associated effect on health:
- Helps prevent Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – Clinical research suggests that nicotine protects against neuronal degeneration, improves motor abilities, and aids cognitive performance, thus cutting down the risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Another study suggests that nicotine intake in Parkinson’s patients’ enhanced their processing speed of complex tasks.
- Promotes wakefulness – Nicotine enhances the brain’s electrical activity and induces a state of alpha brainwave activity, which enhances attention, alertness, and creativity. The drug also enhances areas of the brain related to arousal, visual attention, and motor activation. Nicotine acts on the brain’s thalamus, parietal cortex, occipital cortex, and caudate.
- Boosts memory – Nicotine acts on the brain’s visual attention and attention processing regions thus boosting memory and cognitive performance.
- Reduces ADHD symptoms – In ADHD patient’s, nicotine is known to reduce the severity of the symptoms. The drug increases attention, vigor, accuracy, and reaction time in nonsmoking patients. For ADHD patients who are quitting tobacco and experiencing withdrawal symptoms, nicotine can help relieve minor feelings of nervousness.
- Functions as a neuro-protective – Nicotine functions as neuro-protective by stimulating the nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the brain, blocking estrogen, and reducing inflammation.
- Promotes weight loss – Clinical trials observed that nicotine has the ability to suppress appetite and prevent weight gain. Nicotine can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels.
- Supports a healthy gut – Studies show that nicotine patches improve ulcerative colitis by decreasing inflammation in the lining of the gut. It also provided relief from inflammatory bowel disease.
- Repairs tissue – Nicotine stimulates the body in a way that increases the growth of blood vessel capillaries and tissues, repairing damage and accelerating healing. Nicotine applied topically in low concentrations in the form of a nicotine patch appears to support rapid wound healing.
These benefits of nicotine are observed only when it is taken alone – not in a cigarette with many unknown chemicals. Smoking should in no way be seen as a means to access these benefits of nicotine as it has major damaging effects on health. In that form, it can cause more harm than good.
dosage
1 drop = 1mg organic nicotine
2 drops = 2mg organic nicotine
7 drops = 7mg organic nicotine
If you choose a smaller dosage of 2 drops or 2mg per day one bottle will last 200 days.
If you choose a half dosage of 4 drops or 4mg per day one bottle will last 100 days.
If you choose a dosage of 7 drops or 7mg per day that would be 7 drops. One bottle will last 57 days.
The drops are formulated for both internal and transdermal use, as they do not contain glycerin or alcohol. These MCT drops can be taken orally and transdermally because both routes allow for effective absorption of nicotine into the bloodstream. When taken orally, these bioactive compounds in the drops are absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth and digestive tract. MCT oil acts as an efficient carrier for these lipid-soluble molecules, enhancing bioavailability. When used transdermally, these bioactive compounds can penetrate the skin barrier and enter systemic circulation, with MCT oil facilitating absorption by maintaining skin hydration and improving permeability. This dual compatibility is due to this plant’s ability to cross biological membranes and MCT oil’s skin-friendly, non-irritating nature, making both oral and topical use practical for delivery. The recommended dosage is the same for either method of application.
where our tobacco leaves are grown + sourced
British Columbia, including areas like Vancouver Island, offers a wide range of growing zones (3–9) and micro-climates suitable for organic tobacco. The region is particularly well-suited for fast-maturing and resilient varieties, such as Aztec or Wild Tobacco, which are valued for their cultural and ceremonial uses.
We source our tobacco leaves from a local company in British Columbia. Their ceremonial tobacco is compliant with all provincial legislation and is sought after by institutions and individuals for gifting and protocol purposes. They ensure their tobacco is grown and processed according to strict organic standards, supporting the spiritual and cultural needs of BC’s Indigenous and ceremonial communities.
BC natural tobacco cultivated for ceremonial use is grown and processed using strict organic methods that exclude all additives and preservatives. Here’s how this is achieved:
Certified Organic Cultivation
The tobacco is grown on land that must be free from synthetic chemicals and pesticides for at least three years prior to planting, as required by the Certified Organic Association of British Columbia and Canadian Organic Standards.
Farmers often rotate crops to maintain soil health and fertility, and to minimize pest and disease pressure naturally.
Processing Without Additives or Preservatives
After harvesting, leaves are thoroughly dried and cured in warm, dry environments. This natural curing process develops the tobacco’s flavor and preserves it without the need for additives.
The final product is pure tobacco leaf—no chemicals, flavorings, or preservatives are added at any stage.
Certification and Quality Assurance
Regular inspections and certification processes ensure compliance with organic standards. Products labeled as “Certified Organic” in BC must meet both provincial and federal organic requirements.
This local company manufactures ceremonial tobacco by hand, using only certified organic leaves, and package their products in recycled materials to further support sustainability.
The tobacco species we selected for our patches we carefully chose with the assistance of the naturopath we work with. It contains the highest natural nicotine content (0.09-1.1 mg/drop (9-18% leaf nicotine, 5-80% extraction). The species is Nicotiana rustica, commonly known as wild or Aztec tobacco. This species is recognized as the most potent strain of tobacco, with nicotine concentrations significantly higher than those found in the more commonly cultivated Nicotiana tabacum.
benefits of mct oil-infused herbal tinctures
Superior Absorption: MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil is rapidly and efficiently absorbed by the body, helping to deliver fat-soluble herbal compounds (like cannabinoids, terpenes, and fat-soluble vitamins) more effectively into the bloodstream.
Quick Metabolism and Onset: MCT oil, derived mainly from coconut oil, is metabolized quickly and provides fast-acting support without accumulating as fat, facilitating quicker onset of effects than glycerin for certain actives.
Longer Shelf Life: Oil-based tinctures—especially those using MCT oil—tend to be less prone to microbial growth, oxidation, or spoilage, outlasting glycerin-based formulas, which are more sensitive to moisture and contamination.
Neutral Taste: MCT oil is nearly tasteless and odorless, making it ideal for those wanting a minimal-flavor tincture. Glycerin is sweet, which some may prefer, but can overwhelm delicate herbal flavors.
Cleaner Ingredient Profile: MCT oils are often processed with fewer chemical additives compared to some commercial vegetable glycerins, which may come from mixed and not always sustainably sourced crops.
