Macerates, mother tinctures & vinegars - extracting the best from plants
The product is only available in French language
Since the dawn of time, healers, apothecaries and then pharmacists have captured the active principles and fragrances of plants by macerating them in a base. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of plant species suitable for such preparations. These include many common medicinal plants, as well as a multitude of common plants found in the natural environment. Using four maceration techniques (in oil, alcohol, vinegar and glycerine), presented in a detailed, didactic manner, this book offers you recipes derived from the macerates prepared, so that you can gradually learn to compose your own health, well-being and beauty products. What's more, author Sylvie Hampikian will give you the keys to working under the most hygienic and toxicologically safe conditions.
All you need is a plant, a well-chosen base, a jar, a filter and a little patience to make one of the wonderful 100% natural skincare products featured in this book.
Whether you're already interested in herbal medicine and love making the most of plants, or you're a motivated beginner, Macerates, mother tinctures & vinegars will fascinate you.
May be suitable for pregnant women.
