Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Debbie, this is an answer Doc gave months ago from the files.... also note that some herbs do not do well with glycerine... The reason I never use Glycerine is because it does not have very good catalytic qualities and therefore hinders absorbtion. Both alcohol and apple cider vinegar are excellent catalysts and get the biochemical properties of the herbs where they need to go FAST! Hope this helps ;o) Love, Doc Suzi Debbie Budge <carlbudge wrote: Dear Doc, In your files on tinctures, you state that I can use alcohol or apple cider vinegar for some herbs, but you would not recommend glycerin.

May I ask why? I Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire. 2. If you are pregnant, consult your physician before using any natural remedy. 3. The Constitution guarantees you the right to be your own physician and toprescribe for your own health.
