What are Herbal Tincture?
Explore the Folk method of creating herbal/plant medicine tinctures with Mara Morell, owner of Mrida Seva Yoga & Holistic Wellness Studio

Herbal tinctures, or extracts, are a key component of traditional herbal medicine. They have been around for a millennia and are a favorite way of taking herbal extract remedies for many. While they are all “extracts” only those using alcohol as the solvent are “tinctures”. Tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts that use ethyl alcohol as the solvent, also known as “hydroalcoholic” extractions. Alcohol is used to extract the constituents from the herbs and is also a preservative.

There are different methods of preparing herbal tinctures. We will explore the folk method.

Will review the process of creating a tincture & will have samples of tinctures to try.
