Collection: TInctures/Serums/Sprays
A herbal tincture is a concentrated liquid extract of one or more herbs. It is typically made by soaking parts of an herb (such as leaves, bark, berries, or roots) in a solvent, most commonly alcohol (ethanol), but sometimes vinegar or glycerin
The soaking process, known as maceration, extracts the active chemical compounds and medicinal properties from the plant material into the liquid. Alcohol is often preferred as a solvent because it can extract a wider range of compounds, including those that are not water-soluble, and it also acts as a natural preservative, giving tinctures a long shelf life
People typically take herbal tinctures orally, often by placing a few drops under the tongue or diluting them in water or juice. They are a traditional form of herbal medicine, valued for their potency, quick absorption into the bloodstream, and convenience
