Most herbal tinctures use an alcohol base, often a high-proof grain alcohol. Herbs are soaked in grain alcohol or a mixture of grain alcohol and water for four to eight weeks to transfer the medicinal properties of the herb into the alcohol. The amount of alcohol consumed in a typical dose of an herbal tincture is negligible and safe for most individuals.
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system and hamper locomotion. Muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue.pecific muscle groups are affected by different types of muscular dystrophy. Often, there is a loss of muscle mass (wasting), which may be hard to see because some types of muscular dystrophy cause a buildup of fat and connective tissue that makes the muscle appear larger. This is called pseudohypertrophy.
general term describes a group of more than 30 genetic diseases by progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles that control movement w/out affecting nervous system.
