How to make tincture without waiting 4–6 weeks, the percolation tincture method is what clinical herbalists use, and in this video, Selima Harleston Lust demonstrates the full 24-hour percolation process to make herbal remedies, step by step, from herb preparation and tincture math through troubleshooting common flow problems.
In this video, Selima covers how percolation differs from traditional maceration, when and why herbalists choose this method, the tools and ratios you need, and how to produce a shelf-stable tincture in a single day.
