Usually herbal remedies for chronic, ongoing conditions, are taken as tinctures.

Making herbal Tinctures:

What you need:

1.Herbs
You can use powders, dried leaves or flowers. Roots and barks should be ground up or at least cut as finely as possible. Thats what "cut and sifted" means when ordering herbs.

2.Alcohol
Ethanol, a FOOD-grade Alcohol takes out (extracts) the potent healing substances that are not "water soluble", in the herbs. In plants there are bio-chemicals that disolve in water. Alcohol extracts (takes out) Everything!

Ethyl alcohol is edible and made usually from fruit, sugar cane, even potatoes, and grains. You know it as: Whiskey, Vodka, Gin, Brandy, Araq, Rum. You buy it in liquor stores.

Alcohol comes in percentages.You need 40%-45% Alcohol. Most liquors like whiskey, vodka, Arak are 40% Ethyl alcohol/60% water.  That is how much is water and how much is actual alcohol. "proof" is double the percent amount. As in: whiskey that is 40% alcohol is 80 proof. So, pick which alcohol source to use. Since its just the vehicle for the Herbs, there's nothing wrong with getting the cheapest 40%-ish alcohol you find...Araq, vodka, If you can get 95% pure food grade alcohol, then dilute it in half with filtered or bottled water. It's sold for use in mixed drinks, flamed deserts etc.

Important: PLEASE NEVER USE RUBBING (ISOPROPYL)ALCOHOL by mouth. EVER. It's Bad POISON!!!

3.Jars.
You need some clean glass jars. Start easy, you can use a big glass jar from Coffee, Jam, or Pickles or whatever you may have in the house. Of course, Canning or Mason Jars are Ideal. You can get them in 1-5 Quart or liter sizes. Figure approximately, for every quart/liter size container, you will need 4 ounces of herb materials.

4.Self-stick Labels and waterproof pen

Instructions:
Fill the glass container around 1/3 full of herbs. Fill the other 2/3 with Alcohol.
Put the top on the glass jar. Shake it up a bit. List on the lable the NAME of the Herb and the DATE. This is important later, so you know when your Tincture is ready.

Shake it daily, for the next few weeks. Store in a dry place like a  kitchen cabinet. After two to three  weeks, you can start to use your Tincture. But don't strain it out ,yet. The more it sits the stronger it gets. After four weeks it will be even stronger. But you can start to use your herbal tincture after about two weeks by pouring out a small amount in a little bottle using a funnel.

If you prefer, after a few month you can strain out the herb material through a fine strainer. The Tincture should then be poured in a bottle, and you can use it. Once the tincture is ready, it should be good for years, Tinctures need no refrigeration. Standard doses of most herbal tinctures are 1/2-1 teaspoon, 3xday for Adults, and 1/4-1/2 teaspoon, 3xday for children.
Babies can be given 5-15 drops of herbs that you know to be safe for babies, like fennel, or chamomile for tummy aches.
