Tincture making techniques

Tincture making involves extracting plant compounds using alcohol or another solvent. To make one, you combine chopped herbs or plant parts with alcohol (like vodka) in a jar, then seal and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake the jar regularly to help extraction. After several weeks, strain out the plant material, leaving a liquid that contains concentrated herbal constituents. Tinctures are potent, shelf-stable, and easy to dose. This method preserves the plant’s active compounds efficiently, making it a popular form for herbal medicine preparation.
