A plant extract is a substance or an active with desirable properties that are removed from the tissue of a plant, usually by treating it with a solvent, to be used for a particular purpose. Herbal extracts are substances extracted from the plant using different solvents—some combination of water, alcohol, chemicals, or other liquid that works to draw out beneficial plant components. Powdered extracts are made by soaking the herb in a solvent that is later evaporated. Dried powdered extracts are by far the most potent herbal preparation—they're even stronger than liquid extracts.

Plant extract refers to a product that is formed through an extraction and separation process where plants are used as raw materials. Generally the original components of the plants are not changed
Plant extracts are considered to be the most pressing sources of biomolecules, which can be screened from plant parts. The extraction of such biomolecules through medicinal plants is accomplished by using various solvents and methods of extraction.
The three most common types of extractions are: liquid/liquid, liquid/solid, and acid/base (also known as a chemically active extraction)
Extraction of medicinal plants is a process of separating active plant materials or secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, saponins, steroids, and glycosides from inert or inactive material using an appropriate solvent and standard extraction procedure.
Natural herbs and extracts have been used to treat various ailments, long before they were used for culinary purposes. Modern research has shown that some extracts go a long way in improving our overall health and promoting wellness.
