Tincture is the extraction in alcohol of the oily and water-soluble bioactives, which more closely reflects the chemical content and ratio of the original plant material than a water extract.

Also available commercially, they are often produced in concentrations such as 1:2 or 1:5 where 1 part (usually fresh) chopped plant material is placed in 2 or 5 parts alcohol. At home you can add the chopped plant to vodka or rum, for example, leave (agitating daily) for up to 2 weeks, strain, store in dark bottles, and take according to the recommend dose.<\/p>\n
