It's no secret that herbs carry within their leaves, roots, and more many benefits and many fun natural home remedies to try at home. Making your own tinctures at home is a great way to max out those benefits. You see, the problem is that our bodies cannot always get directly to those benefits because they have to break down the plant material, which is harder to break down because of the presence of cellulose in its cells. For this reason, some have found that extracts and tinctures provide more effective administering method. Generally, these will be made with alcohol, which is known for breaking plant material. For this reason, food-grade alcohol can be used in making your own tinctures at home to be enjoyed in small doses.
Tinctures are easy to make but the process requires patience and dedication.
So let's learn how you'll be making your own tinctures from home!
You start by adding your herbs to a jar of your favorite brand of vodka. Shake the mixes up remove the lid and seal a tie or rubber bands and a cheese cloth. Remember to reapply the lid and shake the mixture once to twice daily and then just let it sit where nothing will disturb it.
Continue this process for at least 30 to 60 days.
Once your wait is finally over strain out the solid herbs and you have a liquid tincture. If you enjoy your tincture orally consider adding to hot tea. The will help evaporate the alcohol, softening the taste.
You can of course buy your own tinctures online or ready-madein a store but you'll soon find just how pricey they can be. Plus you'll have so much mre fun making your own tinctures from home.
