Information

A tincture is a concentrated herbal extract made using ethanol and distilled water. When glycerine is used in place of the ethanol, it is called a glycerite. The ethanol acts as a solvent, drawing out the active compounds from the herb into the liquid.

The ratio refers to the concentration of herbs to solvent, for example 1:3 would be 1 part herbs to 3 parts liquid. 1:1 is the strongest extract, in which 1ml of liquid is the equivalent of 1000mg of herb.

The percentage of a tincture refers to the alcohol used. 45% means that the ethanol was diluted to 45% with distilled water.

The tincture should also clarify whether dried or fresh herbs were used.

Usually a few drops of tincture are taken daily by mouth either straight or diluted in water.

Storage

Keep cool, dry, sealed & out of direct sunlight.
