Question on [tincture] recipes

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I’m a fairly new member but absolutely am thrilled on

all of Doc’s tinctures and remedies and can’t wait to try some of

them. My question is how do you discern what exactly to use if for instance a tincture

calls for “Goldenseal”? There’s goldenseal leaf, goldenseal

leaf powder, goldenseal root, goldenseal root powder…I haven’t a

clue as to what I should lean towards when it comes to have multiple choices

like this. Is it better to get the powder or should you get “whole”

and start that way?

 

Also, anybody have a really good source in getting a lot of

these herbs at discount/wholesale prices? I see a lot of fluctuations and would

benefit from quality, organic but at decent prices. It’d also be great to

get “one stop shopping” if at all possible too.

 

THANKS J

Lisa,

Which formula are you referring to exactly ?We use powdered for most

formulas.

It can be difficult to find sources. One stop is nearly impossible !

I think there are some sources in the file section.

The best source I know is Frontier -- http://www.frontiercoop.com/

 

If you are part of, or form, a buying club or coop group, you can apply for

wholesale membership which gives access to reduced prices and products from

other manufacturers.

 

Blessings,

Judy

Thanks Mary,

 

I’m still waiting for my CD so I do

apologize for jumping the gun and not reading absolutely everything before

asking questions! I’m interested in making the eyebright formula and also

the total nutrition and even the intestinal cleanse at some point. Actually, if

I had the funds I’d buy all the ingredients so I could make everything so

I would have it for when I needed J but I figure the most pressing issues I have would be best.

 

My eyes aren’t what they used to be

so I want to give the eyebright formula a chance. Then, I’m sure I have

candida as I crave carbs, sugars, wine and as much as I try to eat healthy –

I always backslide…, thus the intestinal cleanse I’m hoping will be

good for me. Then the total nutrition will help me keep on track with the hopes

that my metabolism will get back to where it should be so I can drop the extra

weight that I’ve been carrying (30lbs would do…50lbs would get me

to “ideal” J).

 

I’ve read just about everything in

the file section…can you point me in the right direction for the sources

please?

Lisa,

I see that it is not in there now. Sorry for misdirecting you.

I believe Mountain Rose herbs was one that used to be there.
