 HERBAL TINCTURES

I usually like to make my tinctures from herbs that I have been growing myself for some time, just because I feel that they carry forth my energy more so than simply buying the herb from the store just to make a tincture.  No matter, you can always infuse yourself into your herbal tincture when you create it and pray over it. 

  Here are a list of some herbs that you may choose to use and the various ailments that they help alleviate:

St. Johns Wort-  Mild to Moderate Depression

 Evening Primrose- PMS

 Lemon Balm-  Allergies

 Calendula- Anti-Inflammatory

 Rosemary-  Antiviral, Helps alleviate cold and flu symptoms

 Dandelion- Liver and Kidney function; A cleansing herb

Parsley- Diuretic

 Echinacea- Immune Booster

 Chamomile- Sleep Aide

 Angelica- Digestion

Basil- Mild Sedative

 Methods

1.  Chop the herb up (root, stem, leaves, and flowers

2.  Stuff into Mason Jar(s)

3.  Fill Jars with 1 part Brandy and 1 Part Water

4.  Set underneath the Full Moon with your prayers/intentions written on a piece of paper taped to the jar

5.  Keep Jar underneath moon for two weeks (until the New Moon).

6.  Store herbal tincture in a dark place for at least one month.

*When symptoms show their face, take a shot of the herbal tincture twice a day until symptoms cease.  Make taking each herbal shot a prayer for better health and peace of mind.  Do the research necessary to make sure that none of the herbal remedies you take react adversely to any other medicine that you are taking.
