The very aromatic purple flowers, which grow on terminal spikes, are gathered just before opening. Lavender is widely used in cosmetics and aromatherapy for its scent and healing properties.

Initially the herbal components in all their formulas are extracted in grain alcohol and water, resulting in what is commonly known as a tincture. For their alcohol-free extracts the alcohol is then slowly removed without destroying the important herbal constituents. Organic vegetable glycerin is added in place of the alcohol; acting as a natural preservative and giving the tincture a sweeter taste. To make their capsules, they again remove the alcohol and add non-GMO soy lecithin, modified vegetable cellulose and medium chain triglycerides as a natural preservative. This is then encapsulated in a vegetarian capsule. The liquid extracts and the capsules have the same herbal strength per dose. Liquid extracts are more quickly absorbed through the mucus membranes in the mouth than the capsules, which take about 1/2 hour to digest and enter the system. Many women prefer the capsules due to the strong taste of the liquid extracts. Can I take an alcohol based tincture while breastfeeding? Some women are concerned about consuming anything with alcohol in it while breastfeeding. While they understand their concerns, there are a few reasons why all of their supplements start off as an alcohol based tincture and are safe to consume while breastfeeding. While there are a number of ways in which to take herbs, the most common ways are as a tea, as a dried capsule or as a liquid tincture. Motherlove's supplements start out as an alcohol based liquid tincture since this is the best way to extract the herbal constituents, it maintains its quality over time and has a high rate of absorbability. Additionally, Motherlove's liquid herbal extracts are more potent than dry herb blends, meaning less is needed for the same results.
