  ~How to make a tincture~

Call 828-835-8071 if you have any

questions on how to make a tincture.

 

Purpose: To preserve and extract the

medicinal properties of an herb.  May last more then a hundred years

while dry herbs lose potency every year and fresh herbs rot soon after

harvest.

 

Stuff for making:

Blender

100proof

Glass mason jar

ORGANIC dry or fresh herbs

 

Stuff for straining:

Wooden spoon

Fine kitchen strainer or cheese cloth

Bottle to put the finished tincture in.

 

Note: Make on the new moon; strain on the

full moon.

 

It's really easy:

Put herbs in blender, add 100proof alcohol to cover the herbs 1/4 inch

and blend well. Make it a soupy consistency and put in glass jar. Let

herbs settle for a day to see how much liquid is on top 3/4 herbs to

1/4 liquid on top is best( see my diagram). Screw the lid on and let it

brew in the dark for months if you wish (at least 4 weeks) but remember

to strain on the full moon. To strain, pour the whole jar through your

strainer and press all liquid out of soaked herbs with a wooden spoon.

Keep finished tincture sealed as the alcohol will evaporate if left

uncorked.

 

 

The making of tinctures is very simple, but can be time consuming as it

takes months to brew a strong tincture. All Organic Solutions formulas

are available to the public. You might think that by telling you how to

make tinctures and giving away our formulas would harm our profits but

most people are too lazy to make their own herbal preparations and we

need more herbalist and natural healers in this horrid world of huge

pharmaceutical companies and pill pushers in white coats. So if we lose

business and gain competitors, So Be It, we need herbalists and natural

healers now more than ever!! Be the family herbalist and be

your own doctor. Maybe if enough of you make your own herbal

preparations the dill holes will go out of business.  I'll drink to

that. Herbal tea of course.

It doesn't get any more beautiful, any more magical, any richer, or any

easier, than things are right now.

 

Until, of course, you start expecting it to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer # 1 Everclear or moon shine is how I do.

You

want it to be around 100proof when your done diluting it with distilled

water.

Would you have half liquid and half herbs if the herbs

are dried and powdered?

 

Thanks,
