Herbalism is the usage of herbs in daily life which has a broad spectrum of applicability in human life. Such herbs can be harvested directly from nature. However, not all the time, herbs can be used directly. Such natural herbs come along with unwanted material, which may need a process for purification. Herbal extracts are obtained by eliminating unwanted material and extracting the desired supplement/herb. Herbal extracts are solid, liquid, or gel compounds made of phytochemicals and extracted from the plant matrix. These herbs are extracted using water or other selectively gentle solvents e.g., Alcohol, Glycerine, and Vinegar to maximize the extraction of the therapeutic portion of the plant.

The water-soluble extracts are generally carried out by infusion or decoction where, the plant, leaves, or roots, is submerged in cold/hot water or boiled down similar to the tea-making process at home. Similarly, Alcohol or other gentle solvent is also used to extract the herbs and such a mixture is called Tincture. The powder extracts can be obtained by evaporation of the mother liquor. Another method to extract a finished product as a soft gel is called a supercritical extraction method, where extraction is done with the usage of Carbon Dioxide gas. In a simpler form, oil is infused with herbs to make topical products also called infused oil. Essential oils are volatile components that are either separated from aromatic herbs by steam distillation, cold-pressed, or extraction.

The essence of extracts is to eliminate unwanted elements from the plants and target the herb or supplement of interest. Such herbs are readily available to get absorbed in the human body and can be used for targeted therapeutic activity.
