A tincture prepared from white willow bark and ethanol A tincture prepared from white willow bark and ethanol In medicine, a tincture is an alcoholic extract e.g. of an herb or solution of a non-volatile substance; e.g. of iodine, mercurochrome. To qualify as a tincture, the alcoholic extract is to have a ethanol percentage of at least 40-60% sometimes a 90% percent pure liquid is even achieved. 1 Solutions of volatile substances were called spirits, although that name was also given to several other materials obtained by distillation, even when they did not include alcohol. Contents 1 General method of preparation 2 Examples of tinctures 3 See also 4 References 5 External links General method of preparation A general method of preparation on how tinctures can be prepared is the following:2 Herbs are put in a jar and a spirit of 40°C pure ethanol is added The jar is closed and left to stand for 2-3 weeks. It is shaken every once in a while. To make a more precise tincture, more extensive measuring can be done by combining 1 part herbs with a water-ethanol mixture of 2-10 parts, depending on the herb itself.
