I’ve never seen a tincture made from elderflower actually never thought of that presentation I have done a hydrosol for Cremes and love it thank you for another wonderful way to use what nature has given us!
I do believe that the tincture as it finishes is mostly medicine. You could use food grade glycerine instead, but I think that is technically an alcohol also. I could be wrong though.
When using an alcohol-based tincture, a small amount of alcohol is typically ingested along with the herbal extract, especially if you do it sublingually. While the alcohol content in a single dose of tincture is generally low, we understand how it may still be a concern for you if you avoid alcohol altogether. However, if you do add the tincture to hot water tea than the alcohol will evaporate. We personally do not drink alcohol, but we do regularly consume alcohol based tinctures without any negative side effects. Thank you for your question, we hope this helps ☺

I've been tincturing my butt off the last few months. 😂. Love it. Thank you!
Tis the season 😍 love to hear it! Thanks for being you
Wonderful video!
I dry my elder flowers and add them to my herbal tea. I am going to grab some more flowers and do a tincture now!
Thank you!
Lovely to hear! Thank you for watching and sharing, we appreciate hearing how this video has helped 😄 An elder flower tea sounds real nice!
I didn't realize they were still flowering. Lol. Gonna have to look now.
@@doris5625 my friend found some the other day, but in the midwest it may be on it's way out. Queen Anne's Lace is everywhere though!
@@feelbetterliving I'm seeing that.
@@feelbetterliving not quite sure what to use queen Ann's lace for though. Maybe a video for you guys and Karen? ❤️
So...what is the medicinal difference between elderberry flowers vs berries ???
good question, I'll do some research!
So it would be ok for someone who doesn't drink to use tincture?
