Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Hi everyone, When making Echinacea tincture, which part of the plant do you use? This question might have arisen before but could not find it in the archives. Does the same rule apply for all flowers, plants herbs etc.. I have never made any and want to have a go. Thanking you in anticipation, Jocelyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Jocelyne, When I make it I use the roots.... I would expect you can use the leaves or flowers... I use them to feed to my goats when they are under the weather.... Suzi jocelyne hemming wrote: Hi everyone,When making Echinacea tincture, which part of the plant do you use?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hello, Actually, I have heard that the numbness/tingling is a sign of a really good batch of echinacea, and if you don't feel the numbness/tingling , it isn't strong enough.
