Using herbal tinctures safely Throughout Australia many people are trying simple home made tinctures to create herbal remedies. Using tinctures as teas is a fun and easy way to ease yourself into the world of herbs and herbal remedies and to experience what a simple tea can really do for you if you use ingredients to their full potential. Although these recipes are easy to use and the herbs are often completely harmless it is always important to remain safe. Some people react poorly to alcohol, or have a moral or ethical objection to its presence. These individuals should use teas or capsules; when tinctures are made, they need a proper proportion of alcohol and water or else the vital ingredients are not extracted. There is a way of extraction by using glycerin instead of alcohol. This method results in a glycerite which is not quite as strong as a tincture and which should not be taken by people with sugar intolerances/diabetics.
