Description

Tinctures, specifically alcohol and glycerin extracts are a great way to concentrate and preserve your fresh plant medicinal herbs for year round use. They are portable and are effective at the smallest dose of any herbal extract. 

Learn how to make both alcohol and glycerin extracts  for both fresh and dried plant tinctures, using two different methods - the Folk Method and the Weight to Volume Method.  Students will have hands-on experience with making both preparations from start to finish. We will also learn about the importance of creating a plant profile when learning about herbs, uses and reasons why not to use any plant and good research methods. 

Alcohol tinctures are excellent for extracting both the water and alcohol soluble medicinal constituents while glycerites extract a similar profile, yet are more suitable for people who would prefer to not take an alcohol based extract. 

After this class, students should be confident in selecting and researching a plant for extract as a tincture, competence in both methods for making the tincture and assessing the final product for quality and potency. 

We do not offer refunds for class, but if you register and are unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to another person.
