@powerherbs.co.uk: . Same plant. Same amount. Two completely different extracts. 🌿 Kemar is showing what happens when you extract Guinea Hen Weed with alcohol versus hot water, and the colours tell the story. The alcohol extract: vibrant green Alcohol is brilliant at pulling out chlorophyll. That’s the pigment that makes the leaves green. Alcohol also draws out the oils, resins and aromatic compounds that water struggles to dissolve. That bright green is a sign it’s capturing the plant’s oil-soluble side. The hot water extract: brown-green Water pulls out a different group of compounds, like tannins, minerals and other water-soluble constituents. Heat also breaks down chlorophyll, so the green fades towards olive and brown. That deeper colour shows you’re getting a different profile from the same leaf. So neither one is “better.” They’re different keys unlocking different parts of the plant. That’s why herbalists choose a tincture, a tea, or a decoction depending on what they want to draw out.
