Medicinal Herbal Tinctures Master Recipe

herbs

1/2-1 cup Vodka or other alcohol

Fill the 8 ounce jar with the appropriate amount of herbs that you are using.  If the herbs are fresh, they are best rough chopped first.  If you are using roots, stems or stalks, or berries, they are best well chopped or pulverized first.

Pour the vodka or other liquid into the jar to within approximately an inch to a half-inch of the rim of the jar. Make sure that all the herbs are well saturated and submerged under the liquid. (See video.)

Put the lid on the jar and shake it up and down a few times.

Place the jar in a warm place. You can place it either in or out of direct sunlight.  Herbalists assert that the sun will not cause the essential or volatile oils to become rancid because the alcohol acts as a preservative.  However, if you are using glycerine or apple cider vinegar, you may want to place the jar in a warm place out of direct sunlight.

After two days, remove the lid of the jar to check the level of the liquid.  The herbs, especially dried herbs, may have absorbed much of the liquid.  If so, top off the jar with additional liquid to ensure that the herbs are completely saturated and covered by the liquid. Replace the lid on the jar, shake it up and down a few times, and return it to a warm spot.

If you want, you can shake the jar daily, but it is not required.  However, it is a good idea to periodically shake the jar at least once a week.  Doing so ensures that any herbs that may have floated to the top will be re-submerged under the liquid.

If you are making a medicinal herbal tincture using herb flowers and/or leaves, the tincture will be ready to strain and decant after 4 weeks (28 days).  If you are making a medicinal herbal tincture using herb roots, stems or stalks, and/or berries, the tincture will be ready to strain and decant after 6 weeks (42 days).

To strain the medicinal herbal tincture, place a fine-mesh strainer over a large measuring cup or bowl. Pour the contents of your jar into the mesh strainer and allow the tincture to drain into the vessel below the mesh strainer.

DO NOT press on the herbs in the mesh strainer.  Allow the tincture to drain naturally.  You want the tincture to be as clear as possible and free of bits of herbs in it.  The spent herbs can be saved for the compost pile.

Once the tincture liquid no longer drains from the mesh strainer, decant the tincture.  The best option for decanting the tincture is into a dark-colored bottle with an eyedroppe,r but you can also store it in any glass bottle that you have.

Store the tincture in a cool dark place, such as a kitchen pantry or kitchen cabinet.  Do not store your herbal medicinal tinctures in the bathroom.  The fluctuations in temperature can shorten the shelf life of the tincture.

The shelf life of an alcohol-based herbal tincture is very long, almost indefinite. The shelf life of a glycerine-based herbal tincture is approximately 2-3 years.  The shelf life of an apple cider vinegar-based tincture is approximately 1 year.

See the Recipe Notes below for additional dosage information.

Master Recipe for How to Make Medicinal Herbal Tinctures Using Any Herb

A recipe how to make a healthy, budget-friendly turmeric black pepper tincture to boost your immune system. The blog post also offers a guide on the various health benefits of this turmeric tincture!

Turmeric Tincture - Nature’s Golden Medicine

turmeric (ground)

alkaline water

tBsp organic black pepper (ground)

acerola cherry powder (optional)

Before you start, make sure to sterilize all your tools and containers - any spoon, jar, blender jug that would come in contact with the turmeric tincture must be well washed and sterilized.

Then grate the turmeric. Make sure to wear gloves to prevent your hands from staining in yellow. You can also blend it in a food processor/blender just long enough to break it down into tiny bits. *

Add the grated turmeric into a sterilized glass container. Add the black pepper and acerola cherry powder. **

Pour the alcohol over, then add the water.

Stir well and put away in a dark cupboard for 6 weeks. 

Every couple of days, open the jar and stir with clean spoon. Put back in the cupboard.

In 6-weeks time, this mixture can be drained and stored in little darkened dropper bottles. Then it's ready to be used. 

Dissolve 0.5 ml (about 10 drops) tincture in a glass of water and take 1-2 times a day.
