You said nothing of the vinegar.
To make a tincture of lobelia, it has to be half alcohol and half apple cider vinegar to get the most from this herb. I heard one person gets fantastic results from dividing the dry herb into two parts. One part gets the alcohol, the other part gets the ACV. After 4-8 weeks, mix the two tinctures together. Said to be potent. Will try that process next time
Not sure how potent it should be made since it is often administered by the amount of drops, not dropperfuls. Too much can make you puke.
