What is a tincture?
Tincture is a popular method for obtaining a concentrated plant extract. Raw plant parts, rich in active ingredients such as gotu kola leaves, are steeped in pure alcohol. After several days or weeks of soaking, the plants are removed, and the resulting mixture can be used for several months, unlike infusions and decoctions which tend to spoil quickly.
