Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Leneke can you share your hawthorn recipe, thanks anne Same as any ol' tincture made by this rank amateur. Pick and clean herbs, put into glass jar, cover with half Smirnoff Blue Label and half water for a 25% alcohol tinc, let sit in a dark cupboard, give it a shake and a spot of Reiki or prayer(optional) whenever you remember. I let mine sit for quite a while before decanting. I keep planning to go by the Moon and keep forgetting. They are strictly for home use anyway. The Echinacea made this way is dynamite. I had to use some health food store stuff once and couldn't believe how wimpy it was and how much more I needed. A friend who used it claimed it worked better for him than Dr Vogel's Echinaforce. (brag brag) Penelopy Ode's The Complete Medicinal Herbal has nice instructions. This is the book I would buy if I could have only one herb book. Beautifully illustrated, lots of material on how to make creams and oils etc too. I have NO official accreditation as anything but a humble foot squeezer so don't take anything I say for gospel. Ien in the Kootenays ***************************** You ought to be Thankful, a Whole Heaping Lot for the places and people you're lucky you're not! ~Dr Seuss who is this Kootenay person anyway? http://www.greatestnetworker.com/is/ien ****************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
