  Herbal extracts and tinctures
Created thousands of years ago by our herbal ancestors who originally crafted extracts by batching plant material with water, liquid herbal extracts have found an almost permanent place to call home within our cupboards.
Among the advantages of herbal extracts are their ability to preserve the active constituents and their long shelf life.
All of the herbal extracts we offer have been processed from fresh and/or quality dried plant material, and have been extracted with certified organic grain and grape alcohol.

 Standardized Herbal Extracts: An Herbalist's Perspective, Dr. Michael Tierra L.Ac., O.M.D.
In an active constituent extract, the known biochemical compound is isolated from the herb and concentrated to an amount not naturally found in the plant.
According to veteran herbalist James Duke, herbal extracts have been "spiked" to deceptively indicate the presence of a specific marker with little or none of the herb’s associated constituents.
Because certain standardized extracts, such as milk thistle extract with 80% silymarin, have been proven through funded research to be effective against liver poisons and toxins, this does not mean that the whole non-standardized herb may not have equally beneficial properties.

German researchers found that treatment with Ginkgo extracts improved circulation to the extremities and made it possible for patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease to walk further with much less pain.

 Herbal Extracts | Natural Plant Extracts | India
Standardized herbal extracts or phytochemicals are the concentrated dried residues of a fluid extraction prepared from herbage.
Normally the fluid doing the extraction is critical since it must "extract" (or bring out of the herb material into the fluid) all of the important medicinal ingredients within the herbage.
There is ongoing contest in between standardized herbal extract or a whole herb to be implemented in medicine but, in general, evidence (through analysis) shows that if extract is equivalent in ‘ingredient composition ratios’ with the whole herb, then the phytoextract is always superior as it is standardized and concentrated.

 Are Standardized Herbal Extracts Always Necessary?
However, standardized herbal products do not invalidate the worth of whole herbs—indeed, high-quality herbs can be at least as effective and certainly more natural than the standardized extract.
Just because certain standardized extracts have been found effective through funded research, such as milk thistle extract with 80 percent silymarin against liver toxins, does not mean that the whole, nonstandardized herb may not have equally beneficial properties.
In fact, there are traditional uses for milk thistle seeds for which the standardized extract is not as suitable, such as for an enlarged spleen, menstrual irregularities and varicose veins.
