WHAT IS A TINCTURE? (Traditional, Legal and Standard Definition of a tincture)

A Traditional tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made by soaking herbs, plants, or other materials in alcohol usually 40-60% f for 90-180 days to pull out and preserve active compounds. They are primarily taken orally, often via a dropper under the tongue for fast absorption, and are used for herbal remedies. Tinctures compared to teas or infusion have a long shelf life. Teas and infusion only last 4-7 days. Tinctures can last 3-5 years.

The Traditional Basil Tincture Standard

Why we use Organic Alcohol:

A traditional tincture is, by definition, a liquid extract that uses alcohol as the primary solvent. We use a 50% Organic Alcohol base for three vital reasons:

Maximum Extraction: Many beneficial compounds (especially in barks and roots) are not water-soluble and require alcohol to be "pulled" from the plant.
Rapid Absorption: Alcohol helps the body absorb the botanical constituents more efficiently.
Natural Preservation: Alcohol ensures your extract remains shelf-stable for 2 years without artificial preservatives.

Usage Tip: To evaporate the majority of the alcohol before consuming, simply add your drops to a small cup of hot/boiled water and let it sit for two minutes.
