tinctures
Alcohol-based medicine drops
Tinctures are liquid extracts, typically made by soaking herbs or other substances in alcohol to draw out active compounds: She takes a tincture of echinacea for colds.
In heraldry, tinctures are the colors and metals used in coats of arms.
The verb tincture means to impart a trace of some quality: His optimism was tinctured with caution.
