Herbal tinctures are very popular for medicinal purposes. A tincture is basically an alcoholic extract of herbal leaves (in this case). A tincture can be a solution or mixture of a non-volatile substance like iodine, or mercurochrome. To qualify as an herbal tincture, the alcoholic extract (from the herb) is to have an ethanol percentage of at least 40-60%. In herbal medicine, alcoholic tinctures are regularly made with a variety of concentrations of ethanol, (25% being the majority). Some herbal tinctures can have a higher percentage such up to a whopping 90%. Herbal tinctures do not always use ethanol as a solvent though, in fact many of the herbal stores above use alcohol. Other solvents in these tinctures include vinegar, glycerol, ether and propylene glycol. As you may understand, some of these ingredients are not for consumption. That brings us back to alcohol which is very common except when you consider that some people who do not drink alcohol for medical, religious or moral reasons. This is where other ingredients such as non-alcoholic tinctures come into play.
