Understanding Trituration: A Key Process in Pharmacy and Herbalism

Trituration is a process of grinding or reducing a substance into very small particles, typically using a mortar and pestle. It is commonly used in pharmacy and herbalism to prepare medicinal substances for use. The process involves repeatedly grinding the substance with a pestle until it is reduced to a fine powder. This process helps to break down the substance into smaller particles, which can improve its solubility and bioavailability. Trituration is also used to extract the active principles of a substance, as well as to create a uniform consistency of the final product.
