Samuel Hahnemann, the first homoeopath, specified the processing of medicinal plants into mother tinctures. The plants were cut by hand, pounded in a mortar and triturated. The juice stabilises with ethyl alcohol. Advancing technologies then replaced this traditional craft. Yet, the focus was primarily on active ingredients. High production and financial and time savings meant mother tinctures became less effective. For example, dosages increased from 3 x 5 drops to 3 x 20 or more per day. The necessary quality and essence are expressed through the purity of odour.
Moreover, the taste represents the active principle. What is relevant, therefore, could be more enjoyment despite saving time. As is the case with food processing, but rather, it is the immediate effect. Without inner quality, the mother tincture lacks the plant's essence. Essential healing factors can be lost. Therefore, the production of herbal ingredients following their nature had to be re-established. It takes time to develop this quality.
