Liquid Herbal Extracts Buying Guide

Liquid herbal extracts  are perfect for providing a precision amount of medicinal herbs.  Herbal extracts  are an extraction of an herb in water and alcohol (referred to as a Tincture ), or in vegetable glycerin (these are called glycerites ). The proportions of plant constituents to fluid vary for each herb as different levels of alcohol are required for full extraction of an herb's medicinal properties. Since a proper herbal extract contains a known amount of plant material, an herbalist is able to properly recommend a dosage protocol for patients to properly benefit from a specific herb or herbal formula. Remember, always consult a doctor before trying herbal medicines, especially if you are under 18, pregnant, nursing, or have health conditions.
