Cold Percolation using a Stainless Steel Percolator

is a process that extracts the soluble constituents of a

herb by the slow channel of solvent, mostly due to gravity, down through a

column of coarsely powdered or fine herb, which has been packed in a

particular way.

Percolation is advantageous because:

• You can prepare a tincture in less than 3 days depending on the

herb.

• You can make up to 2L of Herbal Extract at one time, depending on the herb.

• Percolation can have higher concentrations such as 1:1, 1:2 and

1:3 herbal extracts.

• Percolation collects more of the soluble constituents of the plant

compared to traditional methods of maceration (some herbalists will

argue this).

• Percolation of Herbal extracts can be advantageous to clinicians as

making your own herbal extracts can save money but be time

effective.

• Most dried herbs can be processed in this way with exception of

herbs with high mucilage, resin and gum content.

• Some herbs need a low heat applied to them, during the percolation

process, to get a full extraction of their medicinal constituents and this can be

achieved easily with a brewer’s belt placed around the stainless steel percolator.
