Maceration of herbs

Maceration of herbs is probably the oldest type of herb processing. Plants steeped in distilled alcohol have also become firmly rooted in Western medicine. Alcohol is used to "break" the plant's cell wall, allowing the release of biologically active compounds. Plants are selected for tincture of the highest quality and after thorough cleaning, they are slowly leached in 45% alcohol. Tinctures are much more concentrated than herbal decoctions themselves, making their effects more noticeable in a shorter period of time. Moreover, thanks to their alcohol content, they have a long shelf life and can last for several years if stored properly. This tincture contains the root of Ashwagandha, which is rich in withanolides.
