About Bassani Extracts
Bassani Extracts exists as a record of hands-on herbal extraction work — experiments conducted carefully, documented honestly, and refined over time. This site grew out of a desire to move beyond vague instructions and toward clearer, more repeatable extraction methods.
My Background and Approach
My work with herbal extraction has developed gradually, through study, experimentation, and repeated practice rather than formal institutional training. I approach extraction as both a craft and a technical discipline, combining traditional herbal knowledge with careful measurement, observation, and modern tools where appropriate.
I am particularly interested in understanding how variables such as solvent choice, ratios, temperature, particle size, and processing methods affect the final extract. Much of what is shared here comes from running multiple versions of the same extraction and comparing outcomes.
Why This Site Exists
Many herbal resources describe what to do but not why, and often omit the practical details that determine success or failure. This site exists to document what actually happens during extraction — including missteps, limitations, and adjustments — so others can learn from real-world experience rather than idealized instructions.
Scope and Philosophy
The focus of this site is extraction methodology rather than clinical claims. While herbs are traditionally used for a wide range of purposes, the emphasis here is on how extracts are made, how methods differ, and how those methods can be improved through careful practice.
Modern tools such as ultrasonic processors, controlled-temperature reduction, and solvent recovery are discussed not as replacements for tradition, but as extensions of it — ways to improve consistency, efficiency, and understanding while remaining grounded in herbal principles.
A Note on Responsibility
The information shared on this site is educational and reflects personal experience and study. It is not medical advice. Anyone choosing to work with herbs is responsible for understanding safety considerations, contraindications, and applicable regulations.
Looking Ahead
Over time, the material on this site will expand to include additional extraction logs, method-focused articles, and eventually short books that explore specific techniques and herbs in greater depth. The goal is to build a clear, practical body of work that others can learn from and build upon.
