Thank you. I've learned so much from UA-camr on extractions. But you answered every question I wondered after watching them. Thank you. This is perfect.
This video is pretty great, I saw it was made 4 years ago. It's a shame it wasn't continued because this could help a ton of people get started it's so well explained
Thank you for saying so, Alex! Nursing practice and motherhood has kept me pretty busy but I want to put more time and attention on this channel in 2023. What would you like to see covered next?
@@witchnursesteph Please help me out my question. I want to know if it's possible to begin an oil infusion with a long-term alcohol extraction. I would like to know what you think. Thank you.
Currently Making a ox eye Daisy infusion to treat my son's cough, this helped remind myself an infusion is boiling steeped and unlike a tea...thank you
The lighting and background at the very beginning of your video is amazing. Did you use a reflector to shine the light on your face? Or is this just outside with bright morning light? I love the warm colors in the wood background. You come across sweet and sincere too. Great job!
@@witchnursestephBeauty, I am very curious about oxytocin. This problem has been bothering me for a year. How is it extracted from ergot fungus? I really want to see the extraction video. It is easy to learn.
@@witchnursestephLove hormone is very mysterious. After searching in more than a dozen languages, no one on the entire Internet has prepared it, and there is no preparation method. The more it is not available, the greater my curiosity. Teacher, what do you think of love hormone? Do you want to make it? Impulsive?
Watched your video and it's very informative 👌..... I got a question about circulation in my right leg , this is something my mother also suffered from...... I'm needing to heal my leg of what it looks like a big blister that's been popped, my leg is red from about 4 inches below my knee to my ankle , what happened to bring it to this was to much salt and it caused little pockets of blisters that I popped and let drain , what is the herb or herbs I need to be taking to heal my leg ?
Hey, thanks a lot, this was super helpful. I picked up Thomas Easley and Steven Horne's book Modern Herbal Dispensatory, which is pretty straight forward. But, you laid this out in a slightly different way and completed the puzzle for me.
Thank you very much for this very informative video. Please let us know if the vinegar can replace alcohol or it can extract only minerals from herbs...Regards
It was very helpful. Thank you very much for this video. I have a question. Please, do you think it's better to start the extraction with a little bit of alcohol and then fill the jar with oil weeks after? Essentially, I'm asking if you can begin an oil infusion with an alcohol breakdown. Thanks again.
I’m wondering if you can extract oil from a plant like purely from the plant or petals like instead of adding oil can it have its own and can you get it out
Great Vid. Since Covid, I'm pivoting one of my businesses into infusions. I live in Southland NZ and am now exploring the possibilities. Thanks. BTW any thoughts on a simple, healthy, infused drink for children? I'd like to provide an alternative to the "juice" industry that sells flavored sugar...
Hi thank you for this your explanation is the best iv come across.. I'm new and trying to make my own products.. I'm so confused by aqueous tinctures.. I'm wanting to add it to distilled white vinegar eco cleaner.. using herbs with antimicrobial/antibacterial properties for add strength and also to make it go further.. how long can aqueous tinctures /water extract keep for if no digesting and if digesting ( would also like to try make a silver tincture - using colloidal silver and aqueous extracts method) x
Hi Jo! To answer your question- tinctures last an indefinite amount of time if they have at least 40% alcohol content. Another option you could explore is infusing the white vinegar with whatever herb you're working with (I've done this with rosemary and thyme for cleaning purposes). I'm not sure that you would get high enough of a concentration for your cleaner to benefit if you were just using tinctures unless it's a significant portion of your cleaner. Great questions!
I usually use 40-60 proof alcohol, which has some water content and will extract minerals... however, if mineral consumption is your goal, I would suggest going with an infusion, which you can drink by the quart and actually get the necessary amount. Hope this helps!
Thanks very much. My another inquiry is how to make a concentrated herbal tinctures to get the active ingredients enough to be effective. For example, to be effective in lowering blood glucose level in diabetic patients, it needs to take more than 10 grams of Fenugeek a day for sufficient active ingredient Saponins. So , if any diabetic patient wants to have Fenugeek tinctures instead(alcohol based), s/he needs to take about one oz of Fenugeek tinctures(assume 1:2 ratio) per day. Is it practical? Moreover, if s/ he wants to have other tinctures alongside such as cinnamon, ginseng, gymnema sylvestre etc, it would be rather impractical. Too much alcohol would be the problem then, even-if taking with hot water. In this complicated situation, I am thinking whether any solution for this problem as in herbal tinctures??
I'm trying to find information on how to best extract horsetail for topical use but can't find anything online. I'm assuming a water or glycerin extract would be best but I don't know if it should be heated or not. Do you have any suggestions for resources to use to fin this kind of info?
A few months back I ordered bulk bags of Chlorella and Spirulina powder, and turns out my gut hates it the stuff. I'm not willing to chuck it out, so I was thinking making an extract. Is this possible with powders such as these? I was thinking tea, but I don't think that would extract the goodies... Anyone with any knowledge who can give me a point in the right direction will get a interweb hug and healthy cookie! tanka

Hi Stephanie very informative and interesting video!!! I'm looking to make a nettle root tincture I have done a bit of research in to the benefits, I feel one with from apple cider will be good as more beneficial, could I get some advice how to make one and optimal dosage thanks. B
Honestly... why not try making both and see what your body thinks? The thing I love about root vinegars is that it really makes all of the minerals more bioavailable than a tincture would, plus the vinegar itself helps with absorption. Dosing depends on so many factors and ought to be guided by a clinical herbalist working with YOU.
Stephanie Tanner, RN :) thank you very much for replying, your right I will try bout and see , with the vinegar would you know how long it keeps for would it be the same date that will be on the bottle,?? thank you again

Hi Elsa! I don't want you to be confused! Was there something I could help clarify for you? I can answer your question here and make another video to help anyone else who was lost.
@@witchnursesteph Hello, it's just that I felt you went through from one subject (teas, tintures, etc) to the next too quickly. I had no time to process the previous info before meeting the next subject. Also, a lot of herbalistic words were not explained. Thank you for your reply 🙂
Hi Elsa, I just watched this today and I agree Stephanie did go a little fast. I just paused the video and backed up a couple times. Otherwise great video Steph.

Lemon juice... why? Also, I don't mess with kratom. Too many contraindications and potential for abuse.
Does lemon juice help extract alkaloids
Cannabis too?????
What about it? :)
The "h" in herbs is not silent
In American English it is.
