why? The reason why handmade herb tincture is the most recommended.
There are many herbal items in the world, but the most important point is the content of fragrance and medicinal ingredients, isn’t it?
There are many items that make use of herbs, such as lotions and creams, mouthwashes, shampoos and soaps, herbal teas and potpourri, and insect repellent sprays, depending on the purpose. You can expect the blessings and charm of the herbs.
The technique of extracting the ingredients of herbs is called “extraction”, and there are methods such as distillation with steam, squeezing method of physically compressing, infused oil soaked in oil, and boiled water boiled in hot water (so-called herbal tea). There are advantages and disadvantages to each.
There are various extraction methods for the components of herbs because they have the contradictory properties of “things that dissolve in water” and “things that dissolve in oil”, and “things that are strong against heat” and “things that are weak”.
And tincture is a method of extracting herbal ingredients by soaking the whole herb in alcohol (35 degrees or higher).
There are three merits.
1. Not all, but both “water-soluble” and “oil-soluble” can be extracted!
<> 2. Since no heat is applied, both “heat-resistant objects” and “weak objects” can be extracted!
<> 3. It’s very easy because it’s just soaked in alcohol!
The disadvantage compared to other methods is that it takes several months.
And above all, the finished herbal tincture can be mixed with water or glycerin to become a lotion or cream, herbal tea or herbal water, insect repellent spray or room spray, or as a base for shampoo or soap. There is a wide range of ways to enjoy it.
Of course, if you drink it as it is, it will become herbal liquor.
With this one, it becomes a versatile herb item.
Moreover, since it is often diluted with water or glycerin, it is actually “very profitable!” Than purchasing herbal products.
Since the only raw materials are alcohol and herbs, it is “completely additive-free.”
You can check the handmade herbal tincture yourself, so it is “safe and secure”.
Handmade can also come in contact with natural herbs, so it also has a “healing effect”.
And above all
By adjusting the amount and time of handmade herb tincture, you can finish it to your liking.
“The only herbal tincture in the world” is born!
Why don’t you try making herbal tincture for a moment with your loved one?
At Nigetsu Hoshikusa, we repeated research and experiments in order to utilize the blessings of the island’s herbs, and each time we both enjoyed the prototype and explored the balance between quality and healing.
Then, I came to the conclusion that it is best to make herbal tincture by hand, and the <> shell ginger tincture handmade kit “Tsuki no Shizuku” was born!
And I continue to make fun trial and error so that I can make the best use of the blessings of plants and trees, so if I have any new findings or surprises, I will send them by e-mail newsletter or blog!
