About Shen Tinctures: There are a variety of ways to prepare and use natual herbs, such as herbal teas, herbal powders for mixing with water or juice, capsules containing herbal powder and herbal granules that can be dissolved in your choice of liquid. A majority of these offerings contain herbal concentrates, which are herbs that are extracted in water and heated several times to create a concentrated powder.
Many tincures sold are extracts of these concentrated powders. At Shen, we do not use processed, concentrated powders or those exposed to multiple heating / drying cycles, but rather use the raw natural herb and extract the maximum essence in alcohol over a period lasting a minimum of 1 year, and more depending on the type of herb. There is much more to this traditional extraction process, but this “Aging” step is key to obtaining the purest, truest natural essence of the herbs.
Extraction in alcohol is also a very important factor that ensures the highest absorption of the herbal essence into the bloodstream, or bioavailability. Teas, powders, capsules and granules all loose bioavailability during digestion. Alcohol absorbs directly into the arteries under the tongue as well as into the capillaries that line inside of the mouth, eosaphagus and stomach. In addition, alcohol does not pass through digestion where much of the herbal content is lost and eliminated. This makes tinctures a highly effective and efficient means of using natural herbs and allows for lower dosages with higher results. The amount of alcohol consumed is minimal with no negative effects.
