Making homemade herbal tinctures is a easy and powerful way to capture the therapeutic benefits of plants for long-term use. Liquid botanical remedies are potent infusions made by immersing botanicals in a solvent like grain alcohol or داروهای طب اسلامی vinegar, which draws out the active compounds.

Start by choosing dried botanicals or freshly harvested plants that you trust and know well. Typically used herbs are echinacea for immunity, Matricaria recutita for soothing anxiety, and Mentha piperita for relieving bloating. Make sure your herbs are clean and free from pesticides or contaminants.

Gather high proof alcohol such as food-grade ethanol, at least 80 proof. Choose organic whenever possible. Glass jars with tight fitting lids are perfect for extraction. Fill the jar about one third full with crumbled dried plants. Pour the alcohol over them until they are completely covered, ensuring adequate room for expansion. Press down gently to release trapped oxygen and seal the jar tightly.

Label the jar with the herb type and when it was made. Keep it in a shaded, temperature-stable area like a cupboard and agitate the jar daily for two to six weeks. Extended steeping time results in a deeper infusion. After the steeping time is up, Filter the extract via a fine mesh strainer, into a clean bowl. Extract every last drop from the plant material. Discard the spent herbs.

Pour the extract into dark glass dropper bottles to protect it from light. Maintain in a cellar or cabinet away from heat. Properly made tinctures can remain potent for 3–5 years. Use as directed—usually a small amount held beneath the tongue or combined with juice. Always start with small doses and seek advice from a herbalist if you are expecting, breastfeeding, or taking pharmaceuticals.

Creating herbal extracts at home relinks you to ancestral wisdom and lets you ensure purity of what you consume.
