What Are Herbal Extracts?
Herbal extracts are concentrated forms of plants, obtained by soaking herbs in solvents like water, alcohol, or glycerin to extract their active compounds. These botanical extracts preserve the plant’s therapeutic properties, making them a staple in holistic products.
Types of Herbal Extracts:
- Tinctures – Alcohol-based extracts (e.g., echinacea, valerian).
- Infusions – Water-based (e.g., chamomile tea).
- Glycerites – Glycerin-based, ideal for children (e.g., elderberry).
- Powdered Extracts – Dehydrated and ground (e.g., turmeric, spirulina).
The Science Behind Herbal Extracts
Herbal extracts work synergistically with the body to promote balance and healing. Key mechanisms include:
- Antioxidant Activity – Organic botanicals like green tea neutralize free radicals.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects – Turmeric and ginger reduce chronic inflammation.
- Adaptogenic Properties – Ashwagandha and reishi help the body adapt to stress.
