The Maceration Process

The maceration process (extraction of the resinoids and essential oils) from the herbs) takes about 6 months for the authentic DaoDi powdered herb kits and 1 year for the whole dried herb kits. The powdered herb kits have a larger surface area for extraction.  Hence the active ingredients in the herbs will be extracted more quickly.
