Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just curious, why is it that tinctures are to be made with 100 proof vodka rather than 80 proof? The difference in price is quite dramatic when it seems to me (the layperson) the lower proof would be fine. Also, why do you not recommend using glycerine? Can other spirits besides vodka be used? Why are only some tinctures made using apple cider vinegar as well? Thanks kindly, Clarissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 ACV doesn't last as long but it a really good way to do it. You can use 80 proof. I use 100 proof. I have taste issues with vodka so I don't use it. I'm sure you could use gin or whiskey or what ever. The reason for tincturing an herb is to preserve and draw all the good qualities out in to liquid form. I would not use spirits that are bottled in plastic because there will be plastic in your herbal preparation. Tinctures made with alcohol can last 75 years or longer. I've never used glycerin before. ~B On 5/10/2010 3:07 PM, cc wrote: Just curious, why is it that tinctures are to be made with 100 proof vodka rather than 80 proof?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks for the info. I didn't know or think anything about glycerine being a bacteria medium. Makes perfect sense. I make so many tinctures that I was concerned taking many of them would lead to actually taking enough alcohol to 'feel' the effects. Does the 80 proof do the same job as 100 proof then? You say you don't use vodka to tincture. What do you use? Brandy may be decent. Has anyone found 'organic' spirits to use for tincturing that don't cost an arm and a leg and that have been stored in glass?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I noticed Bryan answered this earlier, but I'd like to piggy back on his answer with just a little more data as to why I never use Glycerin. In addition to the bacteria factor, there is also the point that Glycerin is very inactive and a poor carrier. By that, I mean it does not aid in assimilation whatsoever. On the other hand, Alcohol and ACV act as catalysts which guarantee almost immediate absorption into the body so the biochemicals of the herbs get to where they need to be, FAST. An even faster catalyst is DMSO, but ya gotta watch what you mix with that compound.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Don't cost an arm and a leg? Nope. The 200 proof we buy is really expensive but worth it. This is one of the reasons Organic Solution's products are a little more expensive than comercial herbal products. Ours are the highest quality that can be made. We searched long and hard for the highest quality ingredients and are now able to say that. We dilute the 200 proof with 50% distilled water to make 100 proof. It does the trick. ~B On 5/11/2010 2:12 PM, mumsheartshome wrote: Thanks for the info. I didn't know or think anything about glycerine being a bacteria medium. Makes perfect sense.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Only those herbs that have contraindications in the first place. Please realize that DMSO gooses up the strength of any ingredient by about a 100 fold. You wouldn't want to mix it with fuel oil. Echinacea by itself will fire up any Immune System. Add Total Tonic to the Echinacea, and now you'll wipe out any Germs, Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites, and Fungi. Add DMSO to the entire regimen, and you just wiped out any Plague or Pandemic since it dramatically strengthens the Ech and the TT. If the Governments of Earth should carry their insanities to the limit, you'll need all of the above on hand.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Depending on the Tincture and its size, I'd start off with no more than 2 or 3 "DROPS". Test it, and then work up from there. I've attached our Deep Tissue Repair Oil Formula / Recipe and you'll get the idea of how little we use of the DMSO versus the rest of the ingredients. You can always add, so start small. All the best, Doc DEEP TISSUE REPAIR OIL NO WATER! NO PLASTIC ! NO RUBBER ! Bottle in a 1 oz. bottle DO NOT RINSE BOTTLES WITH WATER. Use as needed. All herbs must be completely DRY ! 2 CUPS WINTERGREEN OIL 1 CUP COLD PRESSED ORGANIC VIRGIN OLIVE OIL 6 OZ. MENTHOL CRYSTALS (should be from Peppermint, Thyme or Corn (watch out for GMO corn) 1 CUP ARNICA FLOWERS (DRY) (CUT) 1 CUP CALENDULA – MARIGOLD FLOWERS (CUT) 1 CUP CAYENNE FLAKES HOTTEST YOU CAN FIND = HABANERO) 1/2 CUP GINGER ROOT (CUT) After tincture is pressed add: 1/4 CUP DMSO Important note: The amount of DMSO to be added should be clearly written on tape stuck to the top of the lid so that the person pressing the tincturE will add it after the tincture is pressed. 1 oz. bottle = add 10 drops DMSO if there is not any in it already. Note Well: Do not blend in a blender. Just put all ingredients except the DMSO in a glass jar and shake. Let sit for at least 4 weeks before pressing. Use a strainer to press. Add DMSO. Store in glass only. DMSO can eat through plastic. Wintergreen and Menthol can deteriorate rubber and plastic.

You wouldn't want to mix it with fuel oil. Echinacea by itself will fire up any Immune System. Add Total Tonic to the Echinacea, and now you'll wipe out any Germs, Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites, and Fungi. Add DMSO to the entire regimen, and you just wiped out any Plague or Pandemic since it dramatically strengthens the Ech and the TT. If the Governments of Earth should carry their insanities to the limit, you'll need all of the above on hand.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I wish I were with you ) BTW, I've made several tinctures today (YEA!) but a persistent question I have is what is the equalivent of an herb when the tincture formula calls for fresh (albeit it flowers, roots, bark, nuts etc.) when you have powder? I would think you would need less of the powder...can you give an example?!??!! Thx in advance...still plenty of daylight left!

Test it, and then work up from there.I've attached our Deep Tissue Repair Oil Formula / Recipe and you'll get the idea of how little we use of the DMSO versus the rest of the ingredients.You can always add, so start small.All the best,DocDEEP TISSUE REPAIR OIL NO WATER! NO PLASTIC ! NO RUBBER !Bottle in a 1 oz. bottle DO NOT RINSE BOTTLES WITH WATER.Use as needed. All herbs must be completely DRY ! 2 CUPS WINTERGREEN OIL1 CUP COLD PRESSED ORGANIC VIRGIN OLIVE OIL6 OZ. MENTHOL CRYSTALS (should be from Peppermint, Thyme or Corn (watch out for GMO corn)1 CUP ARNICA FLOWERS (DRY) (CUT)1 CUP CALENDULA – MARIGOLD FLOWERS (CUT)1 CUP CAYENNE FLAKES HOTTEST YOU CAN FIND = HABANERO)1/2 CUP GINGER ROOT (CUT)After tincture is pressed add: 1/4 CUP DMSO Important note: The amount of DMSO to be added should be clearly written on tape stuck to the top of the lid so that the person pressing the tincturE will add it after the tincture is pressed. 1 oz. bottle = add 10 drops DMSO if there is not any in it already.Note Well: Do not blend in a blender. Just put all ingredients except the DMSO in a glass jar and shake. Let sit for at least 4 weeks before pressing. Use a strainer to press. Add DMSO. Store in glass only. DMSO can eat through plastic. Wintergreen and Menthol can deteriorate rubber and plastic.DocOn 5/13/2010 3:28 PM, Lisa wrote: Hi Doc,Can you give an example of how much DMSO should be added to a tincture (using ounces or cups of tincture vs. teaspoon or tablespoons of DMSO for example).Thx.Lisa Only those herbs that have contraindications in the first place. Please realize that DMSO gooses up the strength of any ingredient by about a 100 fold.You wouldn't want to mix it with fuel oil. Echinacea by itself will fire up any Immune System.
