What is tinct?

ures:

Tinctures are liquid extracts made from herbs and medicinal plants. They are typically made by soaking the plant material in a solvent, such as alcohol or glycerin, for a period of time, which extracts the active compounds and concentrates them into a potent liquid form. Tinctures are commonly used as natural remedies for a variety of health conditions and are believed to be a more effective way to deliver the active compounds of the plant to the body compared to other forms of herbal supplements, such as teas or capsules. Tinctures can be easily added to food or drink or taken directly by placing a few drops under the tongue. They are also known for their long shelf life and easy storage. However, tinctures containing alcohol may not be suitable for some people who have alcohol sensitivities or addictions. Glycerin-based tinctures are a good alternative for those who cannot tolerate alcohol.
