Herbal Tincture – Comments
Generally speaking and this can vary, depending on the herb and it's potency, you would use 1/2-1/3 of the amount of powdered herb (parts-volume) as compared to a FRESH herb with the SAME amount of alcohol, when you're making an Herbal Tincture.
Dr. Schulze prefers to use FRESH herbs, whenever possible, eventhough the dried herbs are MORE CONCENTRATED, because the FRESH herbs have MORE of their Life Force remaining, as compared to dried herbs, which have a LOWER amount of theirs' remaining.
When making and herbal tincture, most Herbalists and lay people DILUTE the herb's potency, using a 4:1 ratio (alcohol to herb), but Dr. Schulze found, that an herbal tincture is MORE POWERFUL, when made, using from a 1:1 to a 2:1 ratio of alcohol to herb instead!
