Herbal Extract Guide

What are Tinctures

Phytomedicine, a recently coined term, refers to herbal treatments that are a whole-plant preparation, rather than a single isolated chemical compound. (“Phyto is the Greek word for Plant”)
Tinctures are herbs concentrated in ethanol / purified water, extracted from plants over a period of time.

Why Take Herbal Tinctures

Today’s renewed interest in herbs reflects increasing concern about the side effects of powerful synthetic drugs as well as the desire of many people to take charge of their own health.

Nature’s pharmacy is abundant. Many herbs are rich in compounds which have a beneficial effect on certain tissues and organs, and, therefore can be used as treatments to assist combating disease or ailments.

Herbal treatments can help nourish your immune system, stimulate the regeneration of damaged liver tissue, build strength of the adrenal glands, counter the adverse side effects of chemotherapy, balance the endocrine system, stimulate milk production, and improve night vision amongst many other benefits too numerous to mention.

Tincture vs Pills/Capsules

A herbal tincture allows 96% absorption of the components,

Whereas as generally a capsule allows only 60% absorption and a pill 40%.

Capsules and pills take time to disintegrate in the stomach before being absorbed,

Whereas tinctures begin to be absorbed immediately when taken.

Method of Administration

Normally 3 times per day, otherwise for the treatment of acute/chronic ailments you may increase the dosage to 4 times daily (every 4 hours) for likely improved results.

The recommended amount of drops, in 30 to 50 ml water or juice, before meals:

Adults & children over 12 years - 20 Drops

To evaporate the alcohol content, one should put the drops in hot water.

You may even want to disguise the taste by putting the drops in a little juice or simply diluted in cold water.

It is also possible for tinctures to be dropped directly on the tongue.
