Hi Gina,

 

Is your cayenne tincture recipe in the group files. Also, how accessible is it to get your hands on the ingredients. I am not familiar with it and am not sure where I would be able to get it.

Tinctures are made with 80-100 vodka you do not need a brand name just get something cheap. I use:

 

I use Habenaro peppers

wash them

put in blender, stems and all

3/4 of the up to the peppers fill with vodka

blend

store in glass in a dark place

shake daily (if you miss it will still live)

wear rubber gloves

2-4 weeks later strain (use an old t-shirt)

WOHLA!! theres your tincture, it is that easy....................Nikki <athenadreamsia wrote:

Yes with water or tomatoe juice as my hubby does.

Start small a few drops or a 1/4 of a teaspoon and

work up.

If you just put A drop on your tongue soon as the heat goes away you will feel healing. Sore throat a drop on the tonsil, pain is gone. If you take it straight it seems to work much faster, just take one drop not dropperful at a time then increase as you feel you need to. When you feel it coming back just repeat as often as necessary, you will heal fast.

Would it be best to use " dried " or " fresh " peppers for this

tincture?

 

I grew " Ring O' Fire " cayennes this year, and I have some that are

dried already, but I still have some ripening on the plants yet

too....

 

Or, should I use both the fresh & the dried peppers together in it?

 

I've never made any of my own tinctures before, so I have no idea

which way is peferable or more potent......or if either way it makes

any difference?

 

Thanks much,

Jan / Michigan

[Guest guest]

Fresh is always best, but don't let that stop you anything will work. The reason that I used Habenaro it is one of the hottest, hotter the more potent. Faster the better is what I like.

OK, thanks Gina! (I have Habenaro plants too, but most of those

peppers are still green yet....the cayenne's have ripened already)

 

The cayenne I grew is hotter than most other cayenne's, hence the

name Ring O' Fire... so hopefully they will still be pretty potent as

a tincture...

 

Maybe I'll try to make the Habenaro tincture too, once I get more of

them to ripen to their full color.

 

Thanks again

[Guest guest]

The other thing that amazes me is that you put the cayenne on a cut and it will speed the healing and no it does burn. My first claim to fame in the world of natural healing was the cayenne tincture I put it on the start of a cold sore on my lip and it was scabbed and heal the next morning and that is how my story started.

Thanks for that info, Gina. I have been researching the different

uses for cayenne, and there sure seems to be alot of them!

 

As we do not take chemical pharmaceuticals, I am sure that the

cayenne will be a valuable addition to our " medicine " cabinet.

 

I also liked the fact that it was easy to grow, the plants were very

productive, and now I can make my own tinctures from it too! I made

my first batch yesterday, using your recipe. Thanks so much for

posting it.

Your welcome, just remember when in doubt just try it. Also cayenne is a catalyst to any herb, you will see it added to many herb formulas on the market. It is a power tool that makes them stronger.

Are cayenne peppers only hot when ripe if not I got

green pepper not a hot one or two. Pat

As far as I know, the hot peppers reach their peak of " heat " when

fully ripe, and are no longer green.

 

There are also many different varieties of cayenne, and some are

hotter than others. Growing conditions can also affect their heat,

from season to season.

 

I did have several " pepperheads " try my cayenne out for me (after

they ripened to red). I was told mine were " extremely " hot, and none

of those who tried them, will even attempt to take another bite of

one raw. (I had one who claimed he thought they were gonna have to

take a trip to the emergency room, after he took his bite of one) And

this is from people who regularly eat the various hot peppers.....

 

I would let yours ripen to red, and then try them out. Be careful

when you do tho....

Thanks for the recipe. But what I was looking for is something anti-

Thank You Bev

[Guest guest]

OK I'm going to jump in here as a newbie.

 

My herbal remedy is Native American.

 

When the signs of a cold come on I take two 250 mg capsules twice daily of home ground osha root for three days.

I have not had a cold in over 5 years and we have a 3 year old in school at home.

In the total tonic formula what is the dossage?

[Guest guest]

The dosage is 1-2 dropperfuls 3-4 times per day. So for prevention I'd go with the lower dosage, and for active handling a cold or flu, I'd take the bigger dosage.
