Product Eductation
Our Process
What is an herbal extract? An herbal extract is a preparation in which grain alcohol is used to extract the essential qualities of herbs. There are several benefits to using extracts. Easily taken as drops in water or juice, they are quick and convenient. Carried by alcohol, the nutritive properties enter the blood stream more quickly than in any other form. Another advantage of extracts is that they remain effective, and naturally preserved for a long period of time.
We make our extracts from the fresh green plant or root, gathered at peak potency for maximum effect. The extraction process begins immediately thereafter, using 95% medical grade, grain alcohol. Our extracts are bottled in amber glass to prolong maximum potency. Packed with herbs, our extracts are known for strength.
Other products including Mullein Garlic Ear Oil, The Golden Salve, and Hemp Oil Salve are made using a similar extraction process; however oils, such as organic extra virgin olive, safflower, coconut, and hemp seed, are used to extract the essential qualities of the herbs in these formulas instead of alcohol. The oils and herbs are heated slow and long to draw the constituents of the plants, and for the Ear Oil we use an even slower and more tedious, but highly effective, solarized extraction process, using the power of the sun to extract the chemical constituents of the mullein flowers, yarrow, calendula, and fresh garlic. It is important that all extracts be used in conjunction with a healthful diet, regular exercise, and other health-promoting activities.
NOTE: For those on an alcohol-free diet, the alcohol can be removed from our extracts by placing the extract in hot water, and allowing the alcohol to evaporate, leaving behind only the water and plant constituents.
