Harvesting Oak Galls

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

I've been researching tooth & gum remedies (with help from Sorcy : ) and one

component is oak gall tincture.

 

Well, I know how to tincture and I know what an oak gall looks like now (thanks

to Sorcy and the files sections :

) but it didn't say how you harvest and dry them? Is there a time of the year

when its best to do it? Does

harvesting them damage the trees?

 

I haven't located any yet so I'm jumping the gun here but I thought I'd find all

this out before I start hiking. : ))

 

Thanks so much for everyone's time and patience with me.

 

Hope (the green ; - )
