Ultrasound Extraction is an innovative, clean, quick and easy extraction technique that makes it possible to extract active ingredients from plants, particularly medicinal plants, and produce high-quality phytoextracts, exploiting the exclusively mechanical action exerted by the cavitation effect produced by sound waves.
The Alcohol-Free Mother Tincture of Pilosella is obtained through the hydroglyceric maceration of Pilosella Herb, always with a 1:10 ratio, and is an innovative type of Mother Tinctures, which, having been obtained through the ultrasonic process, makes it better from several points of view.
