What are mother tinctures? Mother tinctures are homeopathic preparations whereby the fresh plant (or animal substance) material is extracted with a suitable liquid such as alcohol at particular concentrations.
Mother tinctures offer optimum concentration of active substances. Plants and herbs are selected when they are rich in their constituents and are cultivated without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. To ensure safety from contamination the process of extraction uses stainless steal vessels and presses.
BeeHealthy's offering of mother tinctures are produced in a facility that uses using Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) - which is one of the the highest purity alcohols available. Extra care is taken to prevent contamination beginning with transport of the ENA from distilleries through storage in high grade stainless steel containers. As an added step, the ENA is further passed through 0.2 micron filters of Millipore which are normally used by I.V. fluid manufacturers to eliminate all contamination and impurities. Our supplier is committed to producing the highest quality mother tinctures and performs multidisciplinary testing to include physical, chemical, microbiological testing.
