How much of the Mullein tincture do you take

@SpiraeaHerbs Ай бұрын

@@shirleytruett7319 Hi there! Unfortunately due to strict regulations put forth by both Health Canada and Google platforms (who owns KZfaq), I am unable to provide any specific medical advice outside of my herbal clinic and educational membership platform. My apologies.

I found a jar of mullein that I had put up in vodka last year, and it is still fine! 80-100 proof is perfect and will preserve! The extraction process times out eventually but it does not go bad. Mullein tincture has helped me so much when I need to "expectorate", there is nothing better for viruses or any condition that causes congestion.

@SpiraeaHerbs Ай бұрын

Oh tinctures will last a very very long time. In fact I have some in my apothecary that are many years old (the lesser used herbs). The trick to increasing their shelf life is to not press them (remove the herb material) until you need the tincture. Once mine are pressed I like to use it up within a year or so. Mullein is magic too isn't it? So glad you have this plant ally in your life.

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom on Mullein tincture. This is my first year of harvesting and processing Verbascum Thapsus as a tincture. I am more confident now because of your knowledge and education on this plant that I should do well. I make and use it as a tea and it works well! Now I have found a way to safely store it long term and use it on the go ! Thanks to YOU!

@SpiraeaHerbs 9 ай бұрын

You can either order seeds/plants and add it to your property (knowing it is a biennial and will not produce flowers until its second year). Alternatively I would try to find it in the wild. Its pretty easy to find!

Another Question... I have V. Thapsus but also some of the more colorful ornamental hybrids.. Do you know if they all share the same medicinal properties as V. Thapsus? My 1st V. Thapsus tincture was great!

@SpiraeaHerbs 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately I am uncertain and I doubt enough research has been done to be able to say for certain that they do share the same chemical constituent profile. In general, when they start to hybridize species they do tend to lose medicinal potency. It is also possible that there are added aspects to the chemical constituents. The safe bet is to use the wild variety if you can. Good luck with your medicine making!

HI, I just found your channel, great stuff here. thanks so much. One question. this recipe - You mention 30% alcohol and 10% veg. glycerin. how much alcohol and how much glycerin per 500 ml bottle? (is it really 60 % herbs, 30% alcohol and 10% veg glycerin... i want to try this way for my mullien tincture but not understanding your menstrum mix recipe.. THANK YOU> kelly

@SpiraeaHerbs Жыл бұрын

The menstrum is 30% alcohol, 10% vegetable grade glycerin and the remaining 60% is water. If it's easier to just use straight vodka, you can do that. In terms of ml, that will greatly depend on what percentage alcohol you are starting with (for example vodka is 40%). Herbs you are using in a 1 to 5 ratio.

Is there seeds in that spike that's poison?

@SpiraeaHerbs 22 күн бұрын

Not to my knowledge. I've been making tincture this way for more than a decade and have never had an issue. My understanding is that the seeds do contain rotenone which as an isolated compound can cause some issues when consumed in large amounts. In my opinion I am not concerned about this in terms of creating a whole plant medicine where the seeds would make up a very small amount. However, if you are concerned about that, I would remove the seeds prior to processing. Do what makes you feel comfortable!
