RE: Permaculture, Homesteading, and Community Building // How to Make a Chamomile Tincture for Stress Relief & Insomnia

in #health7 years ago

Hi @anwenbaumeister ! Love the info! Do you ever do dual extractions for chamomile or other plant tinctures?? making a tea as well to mix with the alcohol soak. I agree you might not NEED to use higher proof, but couldn't it be useful to reduce the amount of time or increase the solubility of the compounds you are trying to extract? I guess I am too used to the woody materials you mentioned but was still wondering, plus I thought if you did do a duel extraction you would want to have a higher percentage to then reduce with the tea. Too low and it won't preserve. Also, I thought maybe if I put this here I might find more cool folks: https://steemit.com/questions/@ecoknowme/where-are-the-eco-people hope that's ok.
