Herbal tinctures are made by soaking an herb in an alcoholic solution (usually pure alcohol) for a period of 4-6 weeks. During this time, the active ingredients of the herb dissolve into the solution, resulting in the creation of the tincture. They are significantly more potent than extracts and teas.
