Re: Cleansing the Blood & Lymph -- Blood Detox Tincture -- Based on the famous Hoxey Formula and Dr. Christopher's Red Clover Combination -- Support for the Liver

Welcome 134271,
If you ask a question in this forum, it is nice if the answer is also posted here, so others that are interested can see the replies and information shared. This is the reason I am replying to your post and not emailing you.

The best answer I can offer concerning your question on alcohol to herb ratio is the excerpt/information below. (I do not know if you are planning to make your tincture? If you are not and plan to purchase tincture you will have to ask the maker what ratio was used.)

Making the Tincture
The first thing to remember is that making a tincture is fun. You are going to put your love and "good energy" into making this preparation. If you are all "nerved up" and in a bad mood, your tincture will taste like it.

Most proportion rules in the past have been 4 ounces of dried herb to one pint (16 ounces) of alcohol or 8 ounces of herb to a quart (32 ounces). Herbs have many varying weights and densities, which makes this type of formula ridiculous. What I have found to work best over the years is simply my half to full rule. Blend your herbs with your alcohol and then pour the solution into a big glass jar.

I let it settle for a day to see where the herbs end and the liquid starts. You want the herbs to settle at least halfway up to the top of the jar. If they settle to less, add more herbs.

If you want a stronger tincture, then make sure the herbs settle to 3/4 of the way to the top; a really strong tincture could be all pulp, like applesauce. This rule has worked better for me in my pharmacy over the years than all the rules in every herb book I have read.

You need to use your common sense when putting a tincture together. Eight ounces of mullein or red raspberry leaf may not even fit into a quart jar, so you have to use your best judgment. Follow my 1/2 to full method and you will never fail.

Common, inexpensive tincture jars are one (1) quart canning jars. A clear glass jar lets you observe the tincture as it's "working" and is okay to use as long as you keep it in a dark place, out of sunlight. Do not use
plastic, metal, or any other type of container that your base (alcohol) may react with undesirably.

Pour your solvent over the herbs and seal the jar. It should be shaken vigorously for several minutes to make sure there are no clumps of herb that have stuck together.

At this point you can open the jar and usually add more alcohol or herbs. Once your jar is fully packed, it is NOT to be reopened until the tincture is done. From this point on until it is finished, it should be shaken at least three (3) times daily or, as Dr. Christopher said, "every time you walk by it."


The tincture is left in the jar for two weeks. Start the tincture on the new moon and squeeze it out on the full moon (Many tests have been done by Dr. Christopher and myself as to the strength and potency of tinctures in relationship to the time they "brewed" and the phases of the moon; in all cases, those made in accordance with the phases of the moon made the strongest tincture.)

Obviously, most manufacturers of commercial tinctures nowadays, who use a 3 or 4 day "special process" and ignore the moon phases, are making a highly inferior product.

There are many astrological books and almanacs that give the times of the New Moon and Full Moon, although you may have to calibrate these times to your local area.

Most herbalists don't get too critical on the time, but go just by the day of the Full Moon. It is nice to keep a record of your tinctures as well as your other herbal preparations. I record the amounts of herbs, where I got them, the amount of base and % of alcohol, the date, and any other pertinent information. This logging of information could lead you to making fairly consistent tinctures.

As for your question concerning the benefit/helpfulness of a blood detox tincture for a person with an autoimmune disorder. I am no authority on autoimmune disorders, so I really am not the best person to answer this, however, my personal feeling is this, the cleaner the blood, the better... no matter what.. EVERYONE needs a clean and well functioning colon/bowel, as well as lymph, blood flow. BLOCKAGE anywhere in the body is a major cause of all disease and health issues. So, clean the blood, liver, colon and other organs and systems of the body, be sure to drink plenty of pure water (distilled or ro), get your nutrition from plant sources, get plenty of movement/exercise every day.

This is more information than you 'asked for' but this forum is about doing complete protocols, not taking one tincture or doing one cleanse.
