[@muyambalukambagire5456]

Your agood teacher at the same time you're not selfish thank God bless you

[@eastindiaV]

I think the best way is to take whatever you wanna extract and then ferment it aerobically with yeast. Yeast breaks down the plants more than boiling, releasing more medicinal compounds into solution via osmosis, until eventually, the liquid saturating the fermented plant material is equal to the saturation of the surrounding liquid. It also prevents heat loss of medicinal compounds and oxidization. Then, once the liquid is fermented completely, it can be further refined via fractional distillation, or by extracting with solvents. And these extracts can be studied and developed into medicines. Is how you practice medicine.

[@JohnA-bear]

That sounds interesting. Where can information about that process be found?

[@eastindiaV]

@JohnA-bear idk. That's how cocaine was discovered. And laudanum, old alchemical texts give a lot of the basis of things that became integrated into modern sciences. But the discovery and extraction of cocaine and psilocybin are really good examples of this. I ferment things because I find it to be the best way in personal experience.... but in my mind, I'm just doing what Albert Hoffman did with Maria Sabina... and with ergot. Albeit with different organisms. Fermentation leads to diethylamine and other things like acytelaldehyde.. which, on their own in trace ammounts in beer, aren't very noticeable, but when combined with alkaloids found in, say, ephedra... it creates chemical analouges of ephedrine which are much better than just pure ephedrine. LSD: My Problem Child, by Albert Hoffman will give you a general idea of organic chemistry. There isn't as much lab work involved. It's a lot of brainstorming, really.

[@JohnA-bear]

@@eastindiaV Oh wow😲 New info for me. I love it! I know about morning glory seeds, they grow wild next door to my sister's after the old lady died. Cocaine my demond, I'm staying far away. Laudanum anything to do with opioids, my stomach is in knots just thinking about it. This past summer I learned that Cuban-Jute, Sida rhombifolia which grows all over where I live contains ephedra. I'm not looking to extract that, I just find it interesting how plants containing all that stuff grows all around. I only made a handful of tinctures, the first being wild lettuce. It worked fine without getting me nauseated like I get from opioids. But it worked great on my dry cough. I missed out on this year. I'm diabetic so I made a tincture for kidney health and I believe it helped. Can't say for sure because I also changed my eating habits. I'm about to make another one using the percolation process. I guess it's a step up from the maceration process with a better yield. But I'm still interested in what you are talking about, aerobically with yeast. Is there a basic process?

20% water and 80% glycerin? so it makes a 100 gm extract of 10-gram herb? am i correct? and can we add that in the same percentage of glycerin to the products to get the benefit of an extract in the creams or lotions?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi Monika, no this is not correct - please contact me for the details of how the extract was made in writing, because it is 20% extract at the end made up with water. Different extracts will yield different volumes that then need to be made up to 20%. No, adding straight glycerin won't give you the same benefits as the extract - and definitely not the 'marketing' benefits. Please email us for full details: [e-mail] they're free and available for you.

[@handmadeinsanisidro991]

I think you should add an additional water to reach 20%, if the water extract didn't yield the 20% then add 80% glycerin to get to a 100%

I'm a bit confused...in both of these how-to explanations you describe the process but not the ratio of completed extract to final product? If I use 10g of plant and 20g of alcohol initially, then drain off the extract (the amount of which will vary by herb absorption), how much will that make? I get that we're adding water and more alcohol in certain percentages, but of what total? 10 times the plant materials initial weight? If I used 10 g of plant, would I end up with 100 g of final product? Or do I measure the final extract weight and consider that 10%? Or is it 5% or what? I didn't catch what ratio we're adding to either product 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@CatarinaMota]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been reading about extracts and this is one of the best tutorials I've come across. But I'm a bit confused about the percentages. If I'm not mistaken your ethanol extract was 10% concentrate, 50% added ethanol, and 40% water. Is that correct? Was the glycerin extract also based on a 10% concentrate (10% concentrate, 10% added water, 80% glycerin)?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No - the thing is that when you mix the herb with the ethanol or water, you don't get a 'known' amount of ethanol or water back - so you can't determine how much of the starting ethanol or water is still present at the end. You can determine the extract amount, which is what you obtain - this differs for each type of herbal extract you make, so you can't write these % as 'general' or 'standard'. You will need to add different proportions of ethanol or water after filtering each time, even with the same herb (although you will see certain herbs soak more of the starting substance than others). So you need to filter out then make up to the amount listed in the formula sheet. You can, batch by batch (herb by herb) record this to be accurate for ingredient listing, but its not something I can provide as a general standard for you - it totally depends on how much liquid you get back from that initial filtration step. It is a case by case basis depending on the herbs you use and will also have some batch to batch variation, not the generalisations. I hope this makes sense, record it carefully and you would be able to calculate it correctly for each batch at the end, but it is never a generalisation.

[@CatarinaMota]

@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 Got it, thank you!

[@kmconlon81]

@@CatarinaMota This isn't really accurate. As an herbalist, we determine this regularly without watering down the final extract. It defeats the purpose of using the initial menstruum, which is specifically mixed to a ratio necessary to pull the appropriate constituents out of the plant materials. We measure everything before we make the extracts and then measure everything after, and therefore are absolutely able to make a determination about percentages. If you're using 190 proof without any added water and doing a 1:2 ratio, you wouldn't need to add ANY water at the end. You only need for a final ratio to be 25% in order for it to be truly shelf stable. Most tinctures you buy commercially are about 40 to 60 percent because they're made using fresh plant material or a lower alcohol content to begin with. That said, this final product will be much, much higher than that since your starting herb (green tea in this case) was fully dried. There's no water to pull from the plant and none added, so it's nearly still 190. Further, you need to put all of that green tea in the filter and press it out to get all the constituents and goodness from that extract. We press our marcs to get every last drop of that liquid gold out!

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It would be very hard to filter out - you could definitely try it!

[@yuriberwick1042]

The Institute of Personal Care Science thanks! I have a superfine nut milk strainer bag that would work well. Will give it a try!

[@seacorel]

I keep my herbs in extravirgin olive oil, coz it doesnt smell strong. Second method you demonstrated, worked well for me but i dint add glycerine in it. I added distilled water and preserved it with sodium benzoate. Offcourse shelf life wont b for 3 yrs. 4-6 months of life for extract is good for me . Your videos are really good and so knowledgeable. I have improved some of my recipes after gaining knowledge from you.thank you so much!!

[@angelicadavidoff]

Yuri Berwick that method called glycerite. You add 40% water to the dry herb and 60% glycerin. Let it sit for few weeks then strain it .

[@priyankaparmar6122]

@@angelicadavidoff 40% of what?

[@zinny7994]

Hi, thank you for this video. About the second method, can dry flowers be used for the 2nd method but instead doing a very concentrated infusion?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You can use dry flowers the same way we used the herbal extracts, please follow the same formula. Contact us for full details: [e-mail]

[@theplanetaura]

So, when extracting via these methods, you include these items in the ingredients list, but you cannot include them in any marketing copy as a part of your marketing story? For example, if I do a rosemary extract in a hair growth formula, I cannot directly name the rosemary because I wouldn't have tested my homemade extract to know the true efficacy of it?

[@gutesleben7015]

Thank you for the video. Do I need to preserve my shampoo if I formulate them with an glycerin based extract as shown in your video? Thank you for the answer.

[@aliciagonzalez1029]

But, should't the glycerin be in contact with the herb? I have always seen this kind of extracts made by keeping the plant into the disolvent (glycerin and water in this case) Thanks!

[@friend8069]

Thank you for information video. Planning to make liquid fertilizer from fresh leaves of Sunn Hemp, Sesbania & Gliricidia. Some of the plants are native to India. Planning to making high concentration - pure extract of the leaves for further use. Does boiling of leaves makes it loss its nutritional value. Please suggest which process is better for my product as I will be using it for indoor and outdoor plants. Using Vinegar instead of glycerine will work ? Please update Awaiting Reply Thank you

Can someone please please tell me what doctorate program I would need to compete herbal research such as looking at the active agents in assays!

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You would normally need to learn to assay for actives with a Chemistry Degree and then work experience with a herbal supplier as they can vary significantly, and also combinations of materials can make them hard to assay for individually.

[@snehakumari8758]

Thank you so much mam. I just want to know is extract penetrate in our skin. Is tripple filter extract molecular size is smaller than our skin pore size? Plz mam reply my these questions, I am eagerly waiting for ur valuable answer.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It's actually to do with the phytochemicals within the extract and how they penetrate and their activity. It depends on the herb you are using and the extraction method you are using; To help you with this specifically, we would need to get full details of your formula and specifications of specific materials. This would take time to review and advise on properly, please purchase consulting time here: personalcarescience.com.au/Advice/Advice-2046/ so we can advise you properly on your specific situation. :)

When it is added to formulas at 3-5% (or less) then yes it is fine to use - but it shouldn’t be used straight.

[@ShivaniSharma-in7tj]

I heard alcohol is a better solvent and can therefore extract more from herbs than glycerin. However, since alcohol is an irritant I don't want to include it in formulations. Can I dehydrate the alcohol-based extract or should I just stick with glycerin?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi Shivani, Dehydrating the alcohol out is how they make powdered extracts - you could try solving them in glycerin once dehydrated - it may work or it may not, you’d need to make samples to see. Alternatively, make it easy and use the glycerin but yes, alcohol does get more of the active constituents into the extract. Happy Formulating!

[@user-wk8bs3ko5b]

Is there a way to fasten the extraction?

[@worldwideqtpie6101]

Hi! I was wondering why adding glycerin would make the product self-preserving? As far as I know, anything with water in it would require a preservative. Glycerin is also a humectant that would attract water into the product. Wouldn't this extract require a preservative? Thanks!

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

The glycerin is such a high quantity that it traps all available water, meaning there is insufficient 'free' water to allow microbial growth.

Thank You Mam. Is it possible to use water as the only solvent for extraction of herbs.(extraction of all secondary metabolites)? Just in case we go for solvent (harmful) free extraction?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You can, but then you need to preserve the extract well.
