WHY MAKE EXTRACTS AND TINCTURES?
• Extracts and Tinctures are more powerful and last longer than dried herbs. • It is much cheaper than buying ready made herbal products. • You can make approximately one quart of your own extract or tincture for the price of a few ounces of tincture at retail stores. • You can control the quality of the product you are making by starting with herbs you collect yourself or purchase through a reputable source. You are also ensured of the purity of the final product. • You can custom-make special combination formulas. • There is something to be said about getting involved in your own health. Some herbalists say that you benefit by absorbing some of the herb through the skin and from the aroma.
