This series makes herbal medicine so much more approachable. Just having a simple point to start learning has really cut down the information overload.

I would love a video about how you utilize these remedies in general and how you decide which ones you make. I find it hard to decide which ones to make, while the plants are in their harvest stage without knowing if you'll need this specific remedy. An example: About half a year ago I made a plantain salve because I thought it would be handy to have around. I haven't had a wound or a burn or anything so far, which is nice, obviously. But I also haven't been able to use the salve for its intended purpose and I don't want it to go to waste. On the other hand, I didn't forage any nettles in spring because I don't struggle with unirany tract infections or anything like it. But recently somebody I know had a problem with a kidney stone where a nettle tincture would've come in handy.

Don't know if anyone has posted this, but here goes. If your tincture is for a topical ( like yarrow for repelling bus like mosquitos 90% isopropyl alchohol is good as well & you can muddle fresh herbs with a wodden mudler much like annie's tool if you're in a hurry. Also if you "can" them syrups are great for kids herbals. good crafting everyone! Thanks Annie!

Thank you so much for this!!!! I was just about to start trying to make my first tincture based on Cunningham's instructions in Incense, Oil & Brews. He mentions using dry herbs only so I didn't think you could use fresh herbs but, it's great to know you can. He also suggests using a small bit of glycerin or castor oil to stabilize the fragrance in the alcohol but, it appears that step isn't necessary. Also, I didn't realize you could make a tincture of glycerin alone. Since I bought some maybe I'll try it to see how it turns out.

Thank you! Such a beautiful video! The higher alcohol content the the more toxic making tinctures can be…40% to 50% is best. Your menstrum is very important when making tincture…plants such as mallow, mullein is when you use 50% alcohol due to the the plants mucilage properties… other than that 40% is safe and very effective! Also I prefer to set my tinctures in a sunny window until decant time…sun infusing your tincture adds so much more benefits, there’s really no reason to hide your tinctures in the dark? I been practicing herbalism for 12+ years and the wisdom is priceless,there’s always something to learn when making herbal tinctures.

Hi! A question: how and when does one actually take a tincture?
@OldManFerdiad
2 жыл бұрын
If it's prepared by a herbal pharmacy, they'll give a dosage guide. Otherwise look at a good herbal e.g. Bartrams for the ratio for the tincture and the needed dosage. It can vary from a few drops once a day to a teaspoon (5ml) three times a day taken in a little water or juice. Tinctures tend to taste pretty strong, although not necessarily unpleasant (elderberry tincture is delicious, cramp bark tincture is very bitter) so not many people take them neat.
@oliviahamilton8654
2 жыл бұрын
The when and how much largely depends on the tinctures you are wanting to take, the balances you are wanting to support or correct, and other factors such as diet and preexisting conditions. Certain herbs work quickly, so you can take them when you notice the ailment (ex: peppermint can calm an upset stomach under many circumstances). Other herbs/fungi are cumulative, meaning that they need to build up a bit in your system before you notice them taking effect. A lot of adaptogenic herbs and fungi work well over time as opposed to within the hour of dosing.

This was great, thanks again. I do have a question. I tinctured peppermint and some of the leaves had a white tinge to them, which I am assuming was powdery mildew or possibly some kind of mold. I thoroughly rinsed the leaves, but it didn't come off and the white dots are now in the liquid. Do you think I can strain and use or should I reject the entire batch and start anew? The plant keeps getting the white on the leaves so it is difficult to avoid. Would the 100 proof alcohol possibly kill any mold that is there and make it safe to use?

Hi! Thanks for this video. I'm making Blue Turmeric tincture and I followed 1:5 because I harvested and dehydrated the Turmeric first, so I'm working with dried herb. Now, I left it 12 weeks and it's soooo strong! Should I dilute it at this stage? add more alcohol? I'm also following "Strictly Medicinal" advice and added 75% Organic Vodka and 25% distilled water ( as the menstruum ) . I'm told some Turmeric constituents are best extracted with a bit of distilled water. What do you think of that? and would you say is the dose? I nornally would say 10-25 drops and yet I'm confused because I left it longer and it's strong.
