Practitioner Preferred™ Herbal Apothecary Program by Cedar Bear®
Formulate your own custom blends that are totally alcohol-free!
Cedar Bear Naturales® is excited to announce a new way for Herbal Practitioners, Natural Health Professionals, and CAM (Complimentary Alternative Medicine) Practitioners to be able to create individualized formula blends for each of their clients with Cedar Bear’s concentrated, effective, and great tasting totally alcohol-free liquid herbs!
Alcohol-free! This is a huge clinical consideration for clinical-based herbalism since a totally alcohol-free option (meaning no alcohol ever touches an herb) means that the herbal constituents in Practitioner Preferred™ apothecary products are free of alcohol's denaturing and inert rendering effects. In other words, these totally alcohol-free products retain the biological viability, synergy of the actives, and hence, full therapeutic integrity as found in the raw herb ingredient, only in a potent, efficacious, concentrated liquid format.
Practitioner Preferred™ Herbs by Cedar Bear Naturales® comes in 16oz pump bottles (8oz size coming later) that are only available to practicing professionals and educational institutes in the field of Natural Health, Herbalism, Integrative Medicine, Naturopathy, Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM). Practitioner Preferred™ Herbal Dispensary offers a wide selection of potent and concentrated totally alcohol-free single herbs to make custom blends for clinical and dispensary use with liquid herbs that are consistent, concentrated, potent, and effective.
Alcohol-Free Extracts
Say goodbye to alcohol-based tinctures! Our TincTract® processed extracts are carefully crafted to preserve the potency and purity of each herb without alcohol's denaturing and inert rendering effects on herbal constituents, thus ensuring maximum efficacy. And they taste remarkably good, which assures greater use compliance by clients.

Custom Blends By YOU!
Are you ready to elevate your practice and offer tailor-made liquid herbal formula blends to your patients/clients, free from the denaturing and inert rendering effects of alcohol, and filled with the intrinsic energy, integrity and benefits of 'Whole' based herbal ingredients?
Then unlock the power of nature with our revolutionary Practitioner Preferred™ Herbal Apothecary Program!
We're talking an important part of our herbal traditions and history here by restoring or bolstering community-serving herbal apothecary dispensaries across the country, like was common in the past, with the difference being that instead of a practitioner trudging around the countryside gathering herbs and getting them prepared, as totally alcohol-free herbal glycerites, with all the accompanying legal & regulatory gobbledygook, Practitioner Preferred™ does all that work for you, leaving you, the practitioner, with more in-clinic time to focus on your clients, patrons and customers.
With our program, you have the freedom to custom formulate personalized herbal blends that address the unique needs of each individual. Whether it's enhancing vitality, supporting immune health, promoting relaxation, etc., you're in control of the healing journey.
FAQs
1. Totally Alcohol-Free! All Practitioner Preferred™ herbs are totally alcohol-free TincTract® made single herbs manufactured by Cedar Bear Naturales, Inc. This also means that our liquid herbs are free of the denaturing and inert rendering effects associated with alcohol use, meaning our herbal products retain the full ratio-intact and synergy-retained poly-constituent-based benefits (i.e., 'therapeutic integrity') found in a whole raw herb, only extracted and concentrated in a stable liquid form. Being 'true' alcohol-free also means patients and patrons who have aversion to, health problems with, or religious injunctions against the internal consumption of alcohol or anything that has come into contact with alcohol, can consume a Practitioner Preferred™ custom-made formula with full confidence it fully meets their need and desire for an alcohol-free solution to their liquid herbal needs.
2. Convenient Dispensing! The herbs are provided in 16oz amber PET plastic bottles (8oz size coming later) with a dispensing pump provided. This allows you to dispense and create a custom blend for your clients in a convenient and trackable way.
3. Clinically-Based Herbalism! Practitioner Preferred™ was created by the founders/owners of Cedar Bear Naturales®. This is significant because the originating founder is a decades-long 'Industry Insider,' a clinical & formulary herbalist, and a highly sought for formulary herbalist to the white label/private label herbal products industry, and is a Registered Herbalist (RH) with the American Herbalists Guild (AHG). The co-founder is a traditional herbalist who is a member of the AHG. This means that Cedar Bear® is an herbal products company founded by herbalists, administered by herbalists, and run by herbalists, which is why they created the Practitioner Preferred™ line of dispensary-based single herbs for practitioners of herbalism and other allied practitioner professions to use in their own clinical practice and dispensary for making their own custom formula blends on an individual-to-individual basis.
4. Multiple Quality Standards! The TincTract® made herbs have a decades-long proven track record for potency, consistency, quality, and efficacy, ascertained in both clinical and lay user settings. All products are made to 'Manufacture Standardized' specifications that includes being NSF Certified, FDA cGMP inspected, Kosher (Kashrus) Certified, Halal compliant, Vegan Certified, totally Alcohol-Free, Gluten-Free, and 3rd party lab tested for raw material identity accuracy and finished intrinsic product safety – quality points that a practitioner can trust making Practitioner Preferred™ their preferred source for formulating custom liquid herbal blends for their patients and patrons.
