The tincture, composed of 50g nettle leaves, 30g sage leaves, and 20g horse chestnut leaves, was found to be safe for topical application and effective in extracting biologically active substances. The optimal extraction parameters were a 40% ethanol concentration, a raw material to finished product ratio of 1:10, whole ground raw material, an extraction time of no more than 3 days, and a remaceration extraction method.
