There are two primary natural solvents
                            in this world: water and alcohol. A
                            plant’s active compounds are usually
                            either water-soluble or alcohol-soluble.
                            Water is a polar solvent, meaning
                            that there is an uneven distribution of
                            electron density. Compounds such as
               alkaloid salts, polysaccharides, and some glycosides
               with high polarity are water soluble and therefore
               suitable for water extraction.
               Alcohol is a semi-polar solvent. Compounds with low
               polarity are more soluble in alcohol - this includes
               free alkaloids, saponins and essential oils. Reishi’s
               triterpenes, Ginseng’s ginsenosides, Astragalus’
               astragalosides all need alcohol to be fully extracted.

               Di erent types of compounds require di erent

               alcohol strengths. Alcohol has been used from time                                                     Tinctures A - Z
               immemorial to extract oily and saponin-rich herbs.
