Herbal Handcrafting & Solvents

After carefully selecting the highest grade of herbs, worldwide, the herbs are ground into cornmeal consistency. The average ratio of gram (herb) to milliliter (alcohol) is 1:5. The water/alcohol content of each herb tincture varies from 25-90% alcohol, depending on the solubility factor of the primary constituents within the herb. When making hand crafted tinctures, we take into consideration the following important classes of medicinal compounds: alkaloids, volatile oils, mucilage, polysaccharides, glycosides, resins, saponins, and tannins. With this knowledge, we can adjust the ratio of water to alcohol for the best extraction of the active constituents of the herb. Once the water/alcohol content is determined, the ground herb is added to the liquid. Glycerin and/or vinegar are added for certain herb tinctures if necessary. The maceration will age for a minimum of one month before being pressed and put into Amber bottles.
