Herbal tinctures are also essences, that are made of grain or fruit „palinka” or some kind of spirit with alcohol content of 38-40 percent. A bottle or another locker vessel can be poured, until it is almost full, with the herbal plants. Then water it with the grain or fruit „palinka”. As it is well locked, we leave the herbal tinctures alone in a warm place (about 20 Celsius) for 14 days or more.
Sometimes, we stir the herbal tinctures up, then the herbal essence should be stirred up and strained. Finally, we strain it and the fruit pieces and grain seeds remained in the strainer are squeezed.
Herbal tinctures can be used for oral use- drop some dips of herbal tinctures into the tea. Hence, for external use, it is used as compresses or friction.
