The North Carolina Senate is the upper house of the bicameral North Carolina General Assembly. It has 50 members. The Senate's prerogatives and powers are similar to those of the other house, the House of Representatives. Its members do, however, represent districts that are larger than those of their colleagues in the House.

A tincture can be made of a single herb or a combination of herbs. Herbal tinctures are used because of their fast absorption and because of their long-shelf life. If the alcohol content of a tincture is a concern, glycerin extracts, capsules, or tablets may be used instead. Herbal tinctures are sold in health-food stores, some drug and grocery stores, and online. Some tinctures, such as arnica and compound tincture of benzoin, should only be used externally.
