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.
