Yeah, thats right, its tincture time! A staple in herbology, tinctures are a liquid, concentrated dose of herbs that pack a serious punch.
To the surprise of many, tinctures are actually a form of extraction concentrating herbs into their most potent form with the use of alcohol (similar to how vanilla extract is produced).
A simple dropper full of tincture can do amazing things for anxiety, sleep, focus, pain, immunity boost, allergies (the list goes on). Tinctures are a simple way to replenish and infuse your body with herbal power.
Tinctures are versatile they can be taken directly under the tongue or mixed into your favorite drink for a more soothing experience.
Alcohol-based tinctures are the standard in most herbology practices because of their long shelf-life of several years and the effective way alcohol strips all the beneficial goodness from herbs.
However, there are plenty of alternatives to alcohol extraction. I personally love glycerin tinctures because theyre sweet like honey, making them a great addition to tea. Apple cider vinegar can also be used as an alcohol substitute. For a tasty compromise, many herbalists combine alcohol and glycerin to take away some of alcohols bite in their tinctures. If youre avoiding alcohol but want to make an alcohol-based tincture, you can use the tincture in hot drinks or foods so that the alcohol evaporates off before ingestion. .......
