Alcohol in tinctures
Extraction solvent
Alcohol and water are commonly used together to extract selected plant constituents and to help preserve a tincture.
In the formula
The solvent is part of the formulation, not just a detail of manufacture. If alcohol is unsuitable for you, check the product before choosing it.
A note on use
Adding a tincture to a hot drink should not be assumed to remove all of its alcohol.
