Process of extraction beneficial constituents of wild herbs and plants is well known to humans for centuries. There are different solvents used in the process of extraction. The simple way to use fresh or dry herb is by simmering it in hot water and making a tea. This is also the mildest way to enjoy the power of the herbs and plants. The most powerful method of extraction is by using alcohol 25-40%. Alcohol based extraction is made by infusion. We use only naturally distilled alcohol from fruits (grapes, plums, apricot) and organic wheat for our extracts or tinctures.

Also, alcohol based extracts and tinctures have a long shelf life.
