Thanks for responding; I do have another question. I bought 2 pounds of Wormwood , and 2 pounds of Black-Walnut hull and about the same in fresh cloves. Can you tell me exactually how much I should add to make my on elixir? I want the best and effective dosage possible. I also read using grain alcohol causes the real agents in Wormwood to shine through, can I use volka(the purest form of grain out there) to make it complete?
