I'd love to hear what other herbal tinctures you make from your garden! I'm busy stocking up the root cellar with all this goodness and would love add a few more special tinctures...
●Firecider ●honey infusions •tulsi •Lemon balm •garlic ●Mullein (found at our deerlease 🦌👐💃) ●Dandelion ●making a natural bug repellant w/dog fennel found on our land ●Poke Root this fall ●Elderberry soon ●herbal teas for perimenopause ●sleepy teas
I love tinctures and teas. Thyme tincture is good for sickies. Earache oil can be made with oil dried garlic and dried Mullien. I mean you can do a ton with herbs. The world is our oyster when it comes to herbal remedies lol. Just always make sure you know what your harvesting and research.
This couldn't have come at a better time 🌸 I just discovered an echinacea patch on the property we moved to this spring! One of the many little gifts from nature I've discovered here ✨
@@ShannonAlexis96 probably not, some believe each moon phase is suspicious for a different reason like starting something new on a new moon or releasing negativity on a full moon.
I harvested my echinacea for the first time this year! I am growing horseradish this year as well to make an antiviral tonic. I will use vinegar, jalapeños, garlic, onion and the horseradish. You can add honey to it to make it palatable 🥰
Hello, from MT! I love making tinctures, my favorite one is horehound, oregano and elderberry tinctures, but make may others, for children I use a food grade organic glycerin with a 50/50 mix with filtered water. I love our herbal closet, filled with dehydrated herbs, tinctures, and salves. I also love making herbal vinegars.
I loved the video and that dress was so pretty. I love how you are being true to yourself by wearing what you want. I think we should all be that way. I loved your garden and the blue flowers. I hated to see it end but then I go through and read every comment and every reply. I love this channel. That blue flowers is a type of thistle I read that you told someone. Who knew thistle could be so pretty. Yea I can see this becoming a trend in the coming months. I actually have Wild Lettuce Seeds about 50 of them I'm going to plant and then dry and encapsulate and use for myself since my knees are hurting at night. They told me you'll need a knee replacement by the time your 30. Well I'm 45 and it's all God. But I don't have much cartilage. I do alright though. I still run but it's all Jesus for real. Well Shaye Keep your faith strong and we'll all get through this. We just have to Perservere a little while longer. Just a little while sister. Lord bless you and your family. Shalom.
My Echinacea is always so beautiful, every single place I've lived, I've grown some, mainly because it is so easy too. I have never made a tincture though, I've dried it and used it to make tea, but never thought about a tincture, I'm gonna try it, I'll let you know, how well it turns out. Thanks for showing us how YOU made it. Blessings Laurel 👍💗😁
Amazing! I had no idea how this was made. I have to be honest, I thought I would not be able to do this recipe. Looks easy peasy. The music. Oh, the music! Binging more. XO
I made some of this earlier this year. I have taken it a few times when I feel like a cold is coming on. I'm not going to lie. This stuff is nasty tasting but I kid you not. I never got a cold and I really do believe it works so well. Will definitely be making this from now on for my family!
Your garden and home are so beautiful! The lighting was perfect for a stroll through the flowers Sadly my echinacea has not done very well this year with all the rain we have had, but there's always next year ;-) Sending love from the south
Love love loved this! I can can foods, but I love learning new ingredients and ways to preserve from the garden!! And how to become more and kore self sufficient living off our land! 😍 could you do this with mint. Maybe just dehydrating those would be good. I’d love to hear about more medicinal things! 🤗
Not a tincture, but one year I was really, really sick and nothing was helping- not homeopathy, nstural meds, antibiotics etc.. I'd been sick for 6 weeks. And indian told me to use some of my mint to make a poultice for my chest and keep it on for 2 hours and then change for a fresh one for two more hours. I did that and by the end of the 4 hours was starting to cough stuff up for the first time. By the next day, I was well on my way to getting well. My sister used this successfully when she had pneumonia once too.
I haven't made a tincture before, but I make calendula infused oil that I use in salves, as an oil for bath, body and hair. It's my most favorite. I have echinacea growing. I'll have to give this tincture a try.
Thanks for sharing, I’ll be starting echinacea from seed here in Australia soon to plant out in spring! I have also been foraging dandelion and calendula from our yard to make a salve using my tallow balm as a base. I also like to do elderberry syrup for keeping us healthy in winter.
OMGsh, I'm smiling and chuckling while admiring this amazing and beautiful self-help tincture you whip up every year! I'll have to look into buying echinacea seeds and how well they grow in south FL. Who wouldn't want to take a couple tablespoons of echinacea infused vodka??? Also SMH at realizing I had NO idea how to spell echinacea, lol.
I make a plantain and comfrey oil for winter weary hands and any bruises that occur in daily homestead life. Will definitely try this tincture this year
I know tinctures are more potent, but I prefer a vinegar tincture or water infusion. With our family history of addiction, I don't want any addictive substances in my home. But, to each his own. Even so, I love your beautiful videos--especially what grows well in this type of climate. I have a field full of mullein so will make mullein flower ear oil and dry lots of the leaves for infusions. Also, our new property is loaded with elderberries, so I'll dry some and jam some for the winter virus protection. How do you keep deer from eating your garden? Thank you for another lovely video. Have a lovely, blessed, joyful, peaceful, safe day.
I adore that gorgeous blue cottage door. Reminds me of a magical fairy door :) Loved this and looking forward to trying it out. Can you just use it like that until all the liquid is gone out of the ferment? hugs
About 20 seconds into the video, near the hydrangea, there’s a blue ball-shaped flower. I can’t figure out what it is, it’s beautiful! I’d love the name of it pretty please 🙏
I wish I could make this! But alas, we moved to our home last fall, I'm working with a first year garden. My cone flowers are only about 6-10 inches high and are not big enough to harvest. There is always next year though!
Thank you so much for this!! I have always wanted a purple cone flower plants for this reason. I recently moved from Texas where it was too hot for them to grow down there. I just moved into my new house in Wisconsin and just found several of these plants in the landscaping the previous owners had planted. I was so happy when I found this and have been wondering how I can harvest this beautiful plant for medicinal purposes!
Great info here! I have a bit of mullein and lungwort that I use for teas, but haven't made a tincture with them before. Might have to give that a try. By the way, I love your countertops!
I ordered bay leaves from an Etsy shop in Greece and they sent a small sample of dried Mullein - I didn’t know what to do with it -at the time - and figured the place was a spice shop so I seasoned chicken with it - was Delish!!🤗
This is lovely and something I would like to try. With a recovering alcoholic in the house I try not to use alcohol for anything. Is there some other liquid I could use?
I love this so much! I'm wanting to learn herbalism. I planted coneflowers but they didn't come up ): I've seen so much on the side of the roads now I should stop and gather 🤔
I’d be careful gathering unless you know exactly that weird things haven’t been used around the plant..... The plants are fairly inexpensive to buy especially at end of season sales and now abundantly available in many colors. Or start inside. Once planted so easy to grow - lots of sun and water - one of the Only things I can easily grow in very high dessert (almost 6000ft) dry cold winters of Nevada.
Just discovered purple dead nettle for my husbands pretty extreme allergies that make him borderline asthmatic. Going to ask my mom to send me some seeds from the “weed patch” I know is by the barn up in IL, I’ve never seen it here in FL but maybe I can get it to grow!
Dead nettle needs to be kept cooler, it dies off here in Kansas in the heat of summer, but spring and fall it comes back. I harvest and dry in spring and allow it to reseed in fall.(I'm sure it drops plenty seeds when I harvest also...)
@@marthasundquist5761 I figured. Plantain grows down here but only for a few months in the early spring, unlike at my parent’s where it grows all summer. I’ll get ahold of some seeds and see how they do!
Was wondering the same thing, since I have an alcohol intolerance and can't drink. Does it still have an alcohol taste and is it safe to give to children? Guess I need to do a little research on this.
Check out RUclipsr (rain tree) love watching her she has so many things from scratch vinegars, tintgers,teas and etc. Her garden reminds me of your cottage garden.
For your awareness, echinacea root is the most medicinally powerful part of the plant. Harvest after three years of echinacea augustofolia for actual benefits and not just placebo effects.
@@theelliotthomestead Extra breezy, yes, but I definitely wouldn't want a wasp or bee up my skirt and I wouldn't want to get it caught on any of my wire supports and have it torn. Practicality. Then again, I'm not making films.

So far I have Motherwort, mullein and wild chamomile tinctures going... echinacea and catnip blossom are next!
I have dandelion and comfrey tinctures in my pantry! Lovely video!

I love the color on your kitchen door!
Oooh, what is the name of those flowers in the first shot? The blue, round ones.
Just lovely.
I have some dried chamomile, lemon balm, lavender. I also have fresh echinacea so I will be making this!
That front door is amazing.
It’s best if you shake it gently every day. I actually make mine according to moon phases.

Excellent podcast on tincture and the simplicity in preparing same. The music was exceptional, who is playing? Thank you❣
Thanks so much for sharing that. Been wondering how to make if. Love your videos,home and gardens
This video is gold.
Good stuff. I always keep some homemade, on hand.

So interesting that you don't stain it. It doesn't go rancid bring exposed to air? Or do you top it off?
I am envious of the robustness of your Echinops.
If you werent to use alcohol, what would you use?
Thank you, this is wonderful. How long does it last? I am making some today so that it's ready for use in the fall.
The irony.... I live in the Netherlands and I can't get Breck's to ship to me 😑
I missed it did she wash them?? Or are they good to stick in ?

Love that echinacea!!!
Thanks for the videos! What are those blue flowers just before the Echinacea? Those were pretty.
Globe thistle
So you don’t wash the plant?
Love this video and I will try it! Thanks
Can kids have this tincture? No right since it’s alcohol base?
That's interesting I did not know echinacea was an edible plants

Echinacea is very healthy ! 💋💝🙏
Are the stems able to be used??

Hi.....do you have a child friendly recipe for this tincture? TIA
What is your opinion on Elderberry versuses see Ecanatia?
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Booze + garden goodness, yes please.
Love this. Do you get to a point where you have to strain it?
I never do.
How can I make this without using alcohol?
vinegar or glycerin
Was wondering the same thing, since I have an alcohol intolerance and can't drink. Does it still have an alcohol taste and is it safe to give to children? Guess I need to do a little research on this.
@@margaretlafleur6726 I'm super curious about using vinegar. As mentioned above.
I haven't done it but I've heard people make tinctures from nasturtium leave for ear infections etc?
Wow really?! That's awesome. I normally just use oil of garlic. That is a miracle worker for ear infections.
Healthy

Do you wash the flowers
This is the first year for my Echinacea. It didn't bloom, where did i go wrong? Any advice you have would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. 🌻
I just read they take a couple of years to bear blooms! You probably did nothing wrong, just see what happens next year!
For your awareness, echinacea root is the most medicinally powerful part of the plant. Harvest after three years of echinacea augustofolia for actual benefits and not just placebo effects.
Will using it in tea get rid of the alcohol?
Is the alcohol necessary?
You can use vinegar or glycerin in place of alcohol, but alcohol is best at extracting
What music did you use for this video?
What does this tincture taste like ?
What type of jars are these with the tension seal, is there a special name?
Fido jars.
Anyone have a clue what the blue flower was in the beginning of the video?
Globe thistle 💗
Do you have to use vodka or gin?
White rum would work...but read up on proofs for making extracts and timctures.
Because I always dress up to harvest in my garden....Um, no! 🤣 I throw on my work apron and grab a lightweight wooden bowl and my clippers.
I always garden in dresses! Extra breezy! Ha.
