I gather a quart jar full of fresh young spruce tips in the spring and fill the jar with a high quality vodka. I store it in a dark closet and shake maybe once every couple of weeks.
after at least 2 months I screen off the mix and pour it into a bottle. next I pour water over the tips and try to squeeze out the liquid letting them drip for a bit.
I dump this water into my mix. I water down the tincture to approximately 20% alcohol.
and store in a dark cool place.
Spruce tip tincture also known as Balsam Fir tree is a great supplement to take over winter. It is said to ward of the spread of spike protein which is shed by people who vaccinated for covid and also those who have a corona virus IE cold. needles are known to relieve lung congestion and soar throat pain.
it gives you I nice boost that I can feel within 5 minutes of taking a dose.
I usually dose at about a 1/4 teaspoon in a glass of water.
I make enough for myself and my family to get through the year.
I am sharing my experience and knowledge and how these plants work for me. please do your own research and make your own judgement as to what will work best for you.
