A small amount of time.

A Tincture is a preparation that contains a potent medicine and an extraction solvent; for example Opium and Alcohol. The solvent pulls elements of the medicine and thins it out.

This is a medical phrase which refers to the fact that the body will fix problems on its own if given time to do so. In fact many problems will resolve if given time, and are made worse by fussing over them.
Give your child Tylenol and tincture of time, and the fever will abate.

Cover the wound, watch for signs of infection, and apply tincture of time. It will heal shortly.
