Making an herbal tincture with speed :)?!

Question:

Making an herbal tincture with speed :)?

---

curious of anyone uses a faster method when making herbal tinctures than I.

I generally let the herbs sit in vodka for 6 weeks. I have a family member who I would love to help and wonder if pressing or anything would shorten the time to make a tincture.
It would be fantastic if I could offer a tincture next week
Thank you!

Answers: If your in a hurry to get extracted or concentrated herb ingredients, try a decoction. This just involves boiling the herbs in water gently for about 15 mins and then let it stand for about ten mins. Strain and drink or apply. This will give you a concentrated solution of the herb(s) quickly. try blending the herbs to a powder
used the stongest vodka possible (lobilia use vinager)
one drop of dmso per quart
used a vacume packer to seal the mason jars so the herbs seep in a vacume inviorment
