What are the advantages of using tinctures over teas and capsules?

Tinctures offer several advantages compared to teas and capsules.

1. Tinctures are convenient:  Teas need to be prepared multiple times a day, while capsules may be difficult to swallow. Tinctures come in small dropper bottles that make usage and transportation a breeze.
2. Tinctures are easy to use: Many of the herbs that go into teas and capsules impart a bitter and unpleasant taste that most tinctures lack. Moreover, tinctures can be taken both internally and externally, offering versatility in application.
3. Tinctures are concentrated: Because tinctures are highly concentrated, less is needed to reap the therapeutic benefits. Just a few drops of a concentrated tincture can hold the same potency as five cups of herbal tea.
4. Tinctures are fast acting: The alcohol solution in tinctures not only extends their shelf-life but also accelerates the herb’s absorption rate.
5. Tinctures are safer: Individuals who have digestion issues may find it difficult to take capsules on a daily basis. Taking tinctures is a simpler alternative with more rapid absorption.
6. Tinctures have long shelf lives: Tinctures have a longer shelf life due to the alcohol acting as the preservative. Moreover, tinctures are better at maintaining efficacy over time as the active ingredients don't oxidize and are well preserved.
