Full Product Listing Herbal tinctures or liquid extracts are prepared for the purpose of concentrating the active parts of the herbs and are made up of base percentages of alcohol and water. The percentage of alcohol and water is unique to the herbs that are used.
Some active ingredients are more soluble in alcohol and others more soluble in water.
They are filtered, inspected, and then bottled. This concentrated powder can then be used dry or re-diluted in a now more potent liquid form. Certain ingredients can be extracted from the whole herb. This is done when the specific ingredient is perceived to have a unique, and more specific effect on human beings. These extracts are made with a variety of solvents such as acetone, hexane or methyl alcohol.
