is the process in which the solid ingredients are placed in a stoppered container with the whole of the solvent and allowed to stand for a period of at least three days. with frequent agitation.

is where the active ingredients are extracted from a macerated drug mass in a narrow shaped vessel open at both ends through the passage of an extracting liquid called menstrum

this is a form of maceration in which gentle heat is used during the process of extraction

is a dilute solution of a readily soluble constituents of crude drugs for a short period of time which either cold or boiling water is added

extracts water soluble and heat stable constituents from crude drugs by boiling in water for 15 minutes, cooling, straining and passing sufficient cold water through the drug to produce required volume
