Hi Lin, I buy it already dried from an herbalist, I use the Lobelia Inflata. It has been wildcrafted and is supposed to be the best if you can get it, but organic lobelia inflata is good if you cannot obtain wildcrafted. I have used it also. Wildcrafted means it has been gathered in the wild and dried in most cases but I get a few herbs that I do not dry for my tinctures, they are very strong with chlorophyll and resins however, something about drying them makes them taste better. I also use raw organic honey that has very tiny bits of honeycomb in it with some of the more hard to take tinctures, this gets them down and raw organic honey is also good medicine. Doc's formula is good, I've used it for years. As I added before you can order from Doc to get started while making your own, personally I wanted to see if it worked well first than started with making my own, that is the great advantage of Doc's tinctures. You can try before you make them, might save you some money in the long run.
