#Concentrated Herbal Tinctures
Herbal tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts obtained by soaking fresh or dried - bark, fruits, leaves, flowers, or roots from one or more plants in a liquid combination of ethyl alcohol and water.
The resulting liquid extract is called a solvent. Ethyl alcohol extracts or releases the active and therapeutic properties of plants, alkaloids, vitamins, and minerals.
After the extraction process, the concentrated liquid is separated from the herbs and filtered. The used plant parts are composted. And the concentrated liquid that remains is called a tincture.
#Types of Herbal Extract Solvents
In the production of herbal extracts - tinctures, there are actually several types of solvents that can extract beneficial substances (medicine) from plants.
For example, you can extract herbs using solvents such as water and ethyl alcohol, glycerin, vinegar, oil, or honey.
Each solvent has its advantages and disadvantages in the production of a given medicinal dietary supplement.
#Alcohol-Based Herbal Extracts
Technically speaking, tinctures are liquid herbal extracts made with alcohol, while the term "tincture" is sometimes applied to other liquid herbal extracts made without alcohol.
