Liquids and Tinctures
Liquids and Tinctures: A tincture is an herbal extract made by steeping (soaking) an herb in a solvent such as alcohol, vinegar, or glycerin, and leaving it there for 4-6 weeks then straining out the herb. What is left is the solvent now with the properties of the herb in it. The extracted herb is discarded and the liquid is bottled.

Our room sprays are a combination of distilled (moon) water, essential oils and alcohol to help the water and oil combine.What is moon water? Water that is set under the full moon each month.
