Typical Alcohol Extract made with Pure Organic Grape Alcohol (Grapes are from the Santa Cruz Mountains, California). UPS CERTIFIED ORGANIC GRAPE ALCOHOL We proudly use only Alchemical Solutions' 190 proof neutral organic grape alcohol that is made from certified organic wine produced in the Santa Cruz mountains of California. We feel that grape sugars are unique, and because of their unique actions, grape alcohol does a superior job of extracting medicinal plant constituents. In addition, organic grape alcohol is hypo-allergenic and guaranteed 100% free of genetic modification. Alchemical Solutions' Spirits are double distilled in stainless steel and double filtered to assure the highest level of purity. Each lot is tested by an independent lab to assure us that it meets USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards. Not all pure alcohol is certified as USP grade; only 190 proof and 200 proof pure ethanol, which meets or exceeds the stringent standards of the USP. In TCM alcohol is hot and toxic and contributes to the formation of phlegm. Therefore its use should be limited. The small amounts in herbal formulas are usually considered acceptable but there are times when even these amounts should not be used. And a good reason to only use those products that have quality alcohol. Alcohol extracts are considered the strongest and most forceful. Indicated for acute conditions where the person is otherwise strong and robust.

Glycerin extracts are considered the most strengthening and are normally indicated where rebuilding is needed and for those in a weakened state.
