What is an Extraction?

An extraction is a process by which valuable substances are removed from plant material. This can be done in various ways, such as using solvents like ethanol. Ethanol extractions are a popular method for creating concentrated herb products.

Why Choose Extractions?

Extractions offer several advantages over other methods of herb consumption:

High Concentration: Extractions contain a much higher concentration of plant-based wellness molecules and terpenes than dried herb flowers. This makes them more effective for medicinal purposes and can provide stronger psychoactive effects.

Precise Dosing: With extractions, it is easier to determine the exact dosage of plant-based wellness molecules, which is important for medicinal users.

Versatility: Extractions can be consumed in various ways, such as orally, sublingually, vapes  or in food and beverages.

Longer Shelf Life: Extractions generally have a longer shelf life than dried herb flowers.
