It all depends on how much oxygen and sunlight the tincture has been exposed to,

Homeopathic tinctures don't go bad. If there is a date on the bottle it is there because it is required by law not because it won't work.
If the bottle is left open it may allow contamination. If the tincture is exposed to strong odors like camphor, peppermint, or menthol it can be inactivated. If the tincture is removed from the bottle and not used it should never be returned to the container.
Make sure to keep bottle labels in good shape. The labels will wear out before the remedy does.

There are only a few things that get better with age; wine and cheese.
It doesn't mean the tincture will go "bad", but possibly lose some of the potency.
I use them all the time because they work for me.

Its the only kind of medicine that can actually help you, the nay sayers are just full of crap they give the same chant for every question about Homeopathy while they know next to nothing about it. I am speaking with my experience and that of my family and friends, they nay sayers have never ever even tried homeopathy and they are ready to sat negative things about it. Just paid propaganda nothing else. I would suggest you go ahead with homeopathic remedies and they will help you I have not seen them fail yet despite all the propaganda against them and I have been using them for more then 35 years now. Never have they failed. Best regards.

Homeopathic drugs have a shelf life of 25 years or so. It is because of the high alcohol level.

If kept in tightly closed bottle away from sun light, it will last for 4 to 5 years.

Homeopathic medicine won't work 532 days after you open the bottle. Of course they don't work before then either but . . .

Love to see how some people don't do their homework before hand. Anything in the herb, when you tincture, is in the tincture. INCLUDING all active ingredients. If you use the proper amount of herb they will work.

Watch colour and shape of the medicine if changes throw it away or take it to the shop for their viewing.

Homeopathic medicines are essentially water, sometimes with a drop of alcohol for flavor. That's IT. They are not medicine. They are flavored water. The concentration is so low there's not even one molecule of the supposed active ingredient.
So however long water lasts.
