Hey Joseph! I do it a little different; let's compare and see which is

better. First, I read that you have to use at least 100-proof alcohol,

so

that's what I use--rotgut. *lol* I use 1 oz. herb (powdered; 4 fresh)

to

10 oz. alcohol, store for 2 weeks and shake once a day. What does

everybody else think? --Sara

I'm not sure how I would go about comparing. I am very new to herbs and

extremely new to tinctures. I guess I was really asking: " Hey folks did

I do this right? "

 

I just picked cloves because I happened to have a lot. I'm really not

sure what medicinal purpose they serve, but believe me that I wasn't

planning on taking any of the tincture until I found out. I figured that

I had a few weeks to do the research. What do you use clove tincture

for?????

 

thanks,

 

joseph

I don't know if you're doing it right--am I? Mine works for me if yours

works for you.

 

As to cloves, the only thing I've ever used them for is ear

infections--diluted, of course. I'm sure others use them more than I do;

I'm a garlic person. *lol* -ST
