In addition, Cats Claw is beneficial for joint problems such as rheumatoid arthritis. When the tincture is in a 1:3 ratio with a 25% alcohol content, this means that for 1 part of the herbal extract there are 3 parts of the total solution (alcohol and water).

Benefits of herbal tinctures

Maceration is probably the oldest type of herb processing. Plants steeped in distilled alcohol have taken firm root in Western medicine. Alcohol is used to "break down" the plant's cell wall, allowing the release of biologically active compounds. The highest quality plants are selected for the tincture and after thorough cleansing they are slowly infused in 25% alcohol. Tinctures are much more concentrated than herbal decoctions alone, making their effects more noticeable in a shorter period of time. Moreover, thanks to the alcohol content, they have a long shelf life and can last for several years if stored properly. The tincture is packed in dark bottles to protect it sufficiently from light. You can take it on its own, but also add it to water or juice.
