Hi everyone,Is it ok to use powdered herbs for tincturing? I haven't been able to find organic habaneros, but I can buy the organic powder. Will this effect my total tonic, cayenne tincture? Also, I have only been able to find black walnut hulls powder, same question. Thanks in advance for your response. I am learning so much here, really appreciate all of you.Love,Roni

Yes it is okay to use dried and/or powdered herbs for your tincture. Myself I always try for fresh & organic first then make my way down the food chain so to speak...lol

 

Sounds like your on the right track to me. & always get the best possible you can find & afford, but remember any is better than none so don't let that stop you!

Try a tablespoon, dry is hotter than fresh usually. You can't really

overdose on any of the ingredients though, so go as hot as you can stand it.
