Why is marshmallow tea so much more soothing and demulcent when infused in cold water instead of hot? Why is a tulsi tincture made with a higher proof alcohol so much more aromatic and potent than a low-alcohol extract?
When making herbal medicine, factors like heat, time, and which solvent you choose all impact how strong and effective your final product will be. In this class, we will explore the most common methods of herbal preparation and the benefits and drawbacks of each, as well as how to pick an extraction method that meets your goals based on the actions and chemistry of a given plant.
