Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Rich has been taking English Ivy for the past month or so and even with his recent bronchitis episode, his lung capacity seems improved drastically. He has been using prepared capsules. I grow the ivy and want to do my own. Should I dry the leaves for a tea or would I be better off making a tincture? Advise, please! -- Jaynee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Tea or tincture will be awesome. I would dry the herbs to make the tea. A tincture would be stronger and stronger still if you make it with fresh herbs. Tinctures are nice because they last decades where the dried herb tea will lose potency every year.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Is this the English Ivy we grow in pots and in the yard? This is so exciting to me because I have a very hard time with bronchitis, and my sons do as well. I hate to get bronchitis, because of my hypothyroidism, it takes FOREVER to overcome it. I love natural treatments and remedies, so this is great news. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
