Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Specific gravity was a measuringement that Doc Ozel used for the purpose of getting his patent, but one should not be overly concerned about specific gravity so long as the volume levels for the oleander clippings and water are followed according to instructions.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Specific gravity is the weight of a substance compared to that of an equal volume of pure water. The specific gravity of the oleander, according to the Anvirzel patent, should be around 1.08. That means the final product (before mixing with alcohol) should be 8% heavier than the same volume of water. One can easily calculate the specific gravity of one's oleander soup if you have a scale that measures accurately to one tenth of a gram. Just take a small container and weigh it (say it weighs 20.5gm). Then fill it with the oleander and weigh it again (say it now weighs 140.3gm). Then take the same container, fill it with water to the same level as with the oleander, and weigh it one final time (say it weighs 130.6gm). The weight of the container can now be deducted from the last two weights to get the weight of the liquids (140.3 less 20.5 = 119.8 and 130.6 less 20.5 = 110.1). The specific gravity of the oleander is the weight of the oleander divided by the weight of the water (119.8 divided by 110.1 = 1.088). If your specific gravity (BEFORE adding alcohol) is less than 1.06 the oleander is too diluted and you need to cook a bit longer in order to get rid of excess water.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 AND, don't forget that specific gravity is just DENSITY -- measured relative to that of water. Determines if something will sink or float. P.S. And remember to keep your CENTER of gravity low.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 The amount of cardiac glycosides obtained by boiling according to instructions is so low as to be well within safety limits with the exception that those with heart conditions or high blood pressure should proceed with caution, if at all - perhaps starting with a much lower dosage and proceeding very slowly to allow the body to adjust.I would point out that all information furnished in this forum is just that - information. The decision to use or not use oleander is an individual one, and anyone with a serious medical conditiion should consult a qualified medical professional - preferably one well versed in naturopathic and/or integrative medicine.Live long, live healthy, live happy!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Or, you increase/decrease the dose to compensate for the variable S.G. by the same percentage of variance to 1.08. I make mine double the S.G., which takes less vodka for preservation at 25% solution tincture. Then, I take half the usual dose, diluted to help with the increased bitterness of the condensed OS. The more you condense the OS, the nastier it tastes. If you dilute with water just prior to ingesting, it's flavor goes back to the Ozel mix.
