Having made tinctures for many years I suggest shaking your tincture every day and steep it for at least 6 weeks.

Wonderful! And I am so glad you started with a warning against using rubbing alcohol.

Excellent, thank you

You explain very well.. you make a great teacher

excellent, Divine Blessings to you

thank you

Your meathead is so much good I like it. You explained so simply with lovely voice and mode. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. :)

Cheapest vodka? Could be from genetically modified corn, no thanks!

Awesome

Wasn't that bag from mountain rose herbs?

So much easy and explained meathead is best with simple word and sweet voice.

I thought herbs like peppermint are better in a tea infusion so that you can get the benefits of the volatile oils? Also, aren’t dried herbs better percolated and fresh herbs better macerated like this?

Are those glass droppers? I'd think if they were plastic the alcohol would react with it, no? Thanks!

How do you keep the fresh herbs from turning black?

How do you take it ? some drops in water, or under the tongue please, thank you

Can I use Sake?

so beautiful tincture ......in india

I have fresh peppermint growing and simply want to make a spray to keep bugs and mice away. I've heard it helps in the pantry to keep mice away. How would I do that?

Can I use peppermint extract from grocery store in my tincture ?

I made a tincture, accidently letting it sit for about 10 weeks instead of 6. It's very thick, the viscosity of snot or goo. Is it bad? Should I throw it out? I made it with several different herbs. Elderberry, comfrey, yarrow, and about three others. Did I use too crazy of a mix? Why is it thick? Is it safe?

Mom went off thanks

French Brandy is very good for tinctures. It has more beneficial properties than any other alcohols.

Great video. But fyi you definitely do not need to use 190 proof grain alcohol for fresh plant matter. In fact I wouldn't recommend it.

👍 👍 👍

don't understand why people would make a 6 min video about pouring liquid into a jar. why not show the process of finishing with the straining and bottling. you know the part most people haven't done as often as pouring liquids.

Can I use 100% ethanol? How long they should stay in the alcohol? Can I use raw or fresh herbs? Can I use the extract into cosmetics and soap making

You did not show the last and most important bit....

Just 2wks??

Hi , need a female herbalist

you'd be an awesome actress for a horror movie

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution 1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less. We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only. If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced. If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour. 2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops. But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads. So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world. Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home. Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems. If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own. Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world. Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming. Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future. 3. Electricity Pollution We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur. As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated. 4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped. For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime. 5. How Much Should Be The World's Population Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population. Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
