Why Do Some Tinctures Have Sediment?Updated 6 months ago

It is common for pure, natural tinctures to have some sediment, which is why we recommend shaking before use. This isn't the herb’s leave/stems/roots/flowers, it’s heavier molecules from the extraction, similar to how certain essential oils have parts that are heavier and settle to the bottom. Its natural and a good indication that the extract is pure and unrefined. Each herb extract will be different in this area - some will have no sediment, some will have a good amount. Some may also have oil globules.
