Tinctures

Description

A Tincture is a concentrated liquid extract of an Herb produced using the Solvent Extraction Method.  The term can also apply to liquid extracts that are prepared using part Solvent (usually Alcohol) and part Water.  The Herb is generally soaked (macerated) in the Alcohol or Alcohol/Water solution for a specified period of time and then pressed out, yielding the end-product (the Tincture).

Potency

 Tinctures are generally less potent/concentrated compared to Fluid Extracts:

 Typically, 10 ml of a Tincture is equivalent to 1 ml of a Fluid Extract.
