A liquid extract is made by soaking the whole herb in a liquid that will release and concentrate its active ingredients. All herbs are cold pressed so that no heat is used in the processing which destroys live enzymes. A tincture is made with a solvent of grain alcohol and distilled water. Alcohol is the best solvent, carrier, and preservative for the active constituents of most plants. An alcohol tincture will retain it’s potency for up to three years or more unlike one year for powdered herbs. The active ingredients of liquid extracts are quickly absorbed in our digestive juices and are the most potent form of using herbs medicinally.
An herbalist or botanic physician is one whose therapies are confined to the use of herbs, roots, barks, leaves, flowers, berries and seeds. An herbalist confines his/her ministrations to the substances that Mother Nature has so bountifully provided, those substances that are organic in chemistry, that are endowed with life and are harmonious with the chemistry of man. The practice of an herbalist has come to include all substances in the plant kingdom which are in harmony with, and conducive to cell growth and rehabilitation.
What is a Master Herbalist?
Kinesiology is the science of muscle testing as a biofeedback mechanism for assessing the state of subtle energies in the body. The appropriate herbs or other techniques are administered to balance these energies. Using kinesiology as a diagnostic tool enables Herbal Healer to assess the strength and/or weakness of a persons’ bodily systems such as the endocrine system, the liver, kidney, lungs, intestines, circulatory system, the presence of excess yeast or parasites and vitamin and minerals levels to name a few.
