Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 From the time the moon is new until it is full (waxing) the moon is growing...best time to plant new plants, start new projects, etc...It is a time of beginnings and growth, emotionally and physically. Starting new tinctures is taking advantage of this force in nature. Traditionally, Herbalists, farmers, etc have been using the moon's energy since the beginning of time. Some might see it as an old folks tale....but it is a time tested method of creating tinctures and remedies. There is also nothing that says that you CAN'T make your tinctures at any other time in a pinch, it just adds a little extra 'umph' when started at the phase.
