General
-
In medicine,
a tincture is an alcoholic extract or solution of a non-volatile substance.
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.
-
A tincture is
an herbal preparation made with alcohol or distilled water and dried or
fresh herbs.
Process
- Tincturing is the process of making an herbal
extract by steeping ground herb in a liquid menstruum, thereby infusing
the liquid with the active constituents of the herb. These active
consti-tuents are sometimes known as "extractives." The tincture itself is
the finished product, a relatively stable solution of extractives that is
preserved against deterioration.
-
In homeopathic
pharmaceuticals prepared from botanical origin, the fresh plant is
cleaned, finely chopped and mixed with the appropriate quantity of ethyl
alcohol and water as specified in the HPUS/RS.
Tinctures are tested against
quality control specifications in the HPUS/RS, including organoleptic and
chemical identity tests, dry residue and alcohol content determinations,
as well as positive identification by thin layer chromatography (TLC).
