TINCTURE Meaning and Definition

  1. Tincture is a noun that refers to a concentrated solution or extract made by dissolving medicinal substances, herbs, or chemicals such as dyes or colors in alcohol or a mixture of alcohol and water.

    In the context of herbal medicine, a tincture is a liquid preparation that is highly concentrated with active ingredients derived from plants. These tinctures are typically created by macerating the desired plant material, such as leaves, flowers, bark, or roots, in alcohol to extract the beneficial compounds. The alcohol acts as a solvent, extracting and preserving the medicinal properties of the plants, resulting in a potent and easily absorbed liquid medicine.

    Commonly used in alternative and traditional medicines, tinctures offer a convenient and effective way to administer herbal remedies. They are consumed orally by ingesting a few drops, diluted in water or other liquids. Tinctures are often preferred because they allow for precise dosing and offer a longer shelf life compared to other herbal preparations.

    The term "tincture" can also be used in other contexts. For instance, in the field of chemistry, a tincture can refer to a solution where a dye or color is dissolved in a liquid, often alcohol or a mixture of alcohol and water. Similarly, in the world of art and design, tincture can denote a pigment or colorant used to create various shades and tones in paintings, illustrations, or graphic design.

  2. • A slight taste or quality added to anything; in med., a solution, generally in spirit, of the active principles of any substance; a liquid extract; a shade of colour.
    • To impregnate with any foreign matter; to communicate a portion of anything foreign; to imbue.
