Herbal Extracts

While it is possible to derive great benefits from other methods, herbal extracts are an excellent means of obtaining the most potent dosage of a given herb. While part of the active elements of an herb can be brought out in water, such as in herbal teas, an extract utilizes alcohol to draw out all of the water and alcohol-soluble elements from the raw herb material.

A traditional method of herbal production using the purest organic and wild-crafted herbs from around the world produces an exceptional product. Although time consuming, it is the most effective way to produce the finest products.

The use of top-grade alcohol with the perfect ratio to distilled water creates the exact environment to utilize and maintain the active properties of each herb. Too much or too little alcohol or a glycerin base does not create this ideal herbal environment and therefore does not give the optimum effectiveness of the herbs.

The alcohol allows rapid absorption of herbs by the body, and also adds an indefinite shelf life. Extracts can be used externally on the skin, dropped under the tongue, or added to other liquids.
