Florapathics herbal tincture plant extracts are obtained from superb farmed, organic and ecologically wildcrafted botanicals by alcohol extraction. The final concentration of alcohol in our tinctures is between 35-50%. The tinctures are extracted from various plant anatomies: Flower petals, stems, seeds, leaves, bark, roots, rinds, and grasses. About Alcohol Extraction... Many herbs contain substances not readily extracted by water, thus alcohol is used as it will generally extract all important ingredients from an herb. The amount of tincture to be taken in a single dose varies from a few drops to two tablespoons: This amount of alcohol is quite small and for most people should not present a problem. However, if for any reason, such as a previous history of alcoholism or in the case of very small children, one chooses not to take any alcohol whatsoever, then the required amount of tincture can be stirred into a quarter or half cup of boiling water in order to evaporate the alcohol. Care of Herbal Extract Tinctures... Care must be exercised in the handling and storage of Herbal Extract Tinctures. Keep them in dark, air-tight, glass bottles free from exposure to heat or extreme temperature fluctuations. They may be stored in refrigeration; however, please store them out of the reach of children. All Herbal Extract Tinctures are concentrated and should be handled with great respect and responsibility.
