Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 a while back, I came across a list/chart of formulas for tincturing different herbs. It gave the % of alcohol, water, glycerin, etc. for individual herbs based on their constituents. Can anyone tell me where to find anything like this? Does anyone else use 'recipes' for tincturing, or do most people just use a standard menstruum (e.g. 50% alcohol/water)? Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I usually extract my dried herbs in cheap vodka, Bonnie - 40% alcohol. Minerals extract better into vinegar, and I've done that too, but it tastes awful, and the point of making medicine is for it to be usable. - Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
