The CW Tincture Calculator (Chinese-Western)Alcohol has a specific nature, which according to traditional sources can be modified by the temperature a preparation is served. Using this knowledge along with time of day and other existing patterns the very essence of herbal formulas can be harnessed to greatly benefit patients while taking the load off the digestion that decoctions often put on it.
The speed of delivery to the blood stream, and thus to the entire body, is unequaled by any other delivery method. Furthermore, practitioners who have a tincture pharmacy find that patient compliance is high and this translates to better results.
The simple platform design of the CW Tincture Calculator allows one to input weight of the herb to be produced as a tincture and the appropriate menstruum is instantly given to the user. When the tincture is pressed, simply input the amount yielded and information such as the percentage of alcohol, and other solvents in the final product quickly appears*.
Using the CW Tincture Calculator will help you to produce the best possible tincture according to current industry standards. Available for Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Download the free software demo below and try it for yourself.
