Hi thank you for a lovely video I am from Wales UK I have found this so interesting I have just started down this road of home made remedies. As over here in my country we cannot get to see doctors so have decided to grow and make my own tincture etc again thank you for explaining this so it was easy to understand.
Best wishes!
You are confusing proof and percent of alcohol.
100 proof is 50 percent.
For the tincture you said 1:2 with 95 PERCENT alcohol and then you proceeded to use 100 proof/50 percent alcohol.
Major difference.
95 percent alcohol is hard to find in many states. Everclear brand vodka is 95 percent.
I use a few fresh leaves make a tea, and yes it works for hot flashes, it sure did for me.
Great tip!
Great video! Can I do sage and ginger together as a tincture?
Thanks. I like to use herbs separately. However, can be done together. I would weigh each to make equal amount
What can I do with Pineapple Sage? It smells so good. I’m in Canada, have 2 plants in pots. I don’t want it to go to waste.
Tincture it! I did mine!
Make tea
Hi I love your channel. How do I make the tea for hot flashes and night sweats
what do you mean by 1:2? Is this just based on how much to fill the jar? Thank you for your very helpful video!
Just wondering, would macerating or crushing the herbs release more of what you're trying to extract from the herb you're using? (Or might that release something in the leaves you don't want to be extracted? ) Thanks for your videos, you're a wonderful teacher! JC, from OK.
Great question! Sometimes I massage leaves for the fermentation process, which allows to break the plant on the cellular level and release important micronutrients. Please look up my video about Fermented Stinning nettle tea.
Other times, if I am just drying or making a tincture I do not massage or manipulate the plant materials, allowing water or alcohol to do it's job.
@@lulishomestead6767 Thank you!
Excellent video and information! 😎
Lilu I appreciate you helping us to understand all the wonderful herbs and weeds Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing this. I need to go and harvest mine now!
This is a good time. I pray that my sage bush survives our New England winter
My sages are tiny right now. I am looking forward to them getting bigger. Zone 10a florida
Good plan
How about making this with white sage?
Great question. White sage is much stronger in fragrance and is often used for the ritual burning sage. It does have similar properties in antibacterial as the common sage. I have not used white sage as it has sedative and pain relieving properties.
Ca we use some other liquid instead of vodka ?
I don’t use liquor at all.
Thankyou for sharing your information.
Blessings ❤😊
Thank you
I love being invited into your kitchen to make medicine! I am very excited to try the elixir of sage/raw honey/vodka. You are so correct about making things well in advance and being prepared Luli! Self sufficiency with food and medicine is such a worthy life goal, so thanks for your wisdom!
Glad to share. I appreciate your kind words .

Sorry, I am not able to do that
Thank you, I wish you measured all 3 ingredients either in grams or coups .
I really appreciate you for sharing your knowledge, so I thank you very much. I wonder how long does an elixir last before it spoil?, do we keep it at room temperature? Grateful I am.
The alcohol is a good preservative. I use it within a year
Hi. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Is there a method of making ticture or exlixir without using alcohol. In case you can't take alcohol. Thanks again
If you can't use alcohol, you can make a tea using the herb in hot water, let it steep a few minutes. You can also use vinegar in the same way the alcohol is used, it will make an infused vinegar.
Wonderful. I drink twice a day Sage tea. It is great experience.
Thank you for sharing. Do you use dry leaves for tea?
@@lulishomestead6767 yes please. Here in Dubai we get dry leaves only. Me and my wife both are having twice a day.
Sage tea is yummy
I love the simplicity in which you present this information. Your sage is enormous. Where do you live that your sage grows so large.
We are in New England
@@lulishomestead6767 I too am in New England, central Ma. I suspect that the issue is the poor quality of my soil which I am improving through compost.
Thank you so much for all that you share here. God Bless!
Try adding sulphate of ammonia as a supplement to your soil too.
I live in Ireland and I have this large leaved sage variety, a narrow leaved one, a variegated one, one for smudging and a purple sage. I love them all
Consider putting the vodka in first, then the honey. The honey is a blocker-upper.
I’ve never heard the term blocker upper. I tried looking up and got a whole bunch of stuff that had nothing to do with plants. Can you please explain what a blocker upper is?
@@StefaneDigianno...the honey coats the plant so the vodka cannot penetrate well. Pour in Vodka shake, wait a moment or two than add honey
Great tutorial!!! Many thanks.
I am happy to share
I don't drink alcohol is there a substitute for the vodka?
Vinegar but it will not the the same
Please tell how long is it shelf stable as an elixir …does it last as long as a tincture?
can you use a substitutions for the alcohol?
I thought it would be best to use dry ingredients because alcohol and water don't mix. Wouldn't the alcohol have to battle through the water for extraction or am I just over thinking it?
Vodka is 50% water
Fresh or dry for tincture with alcohol, when using a carrier oil dry always
Very nice tips thanks ❤🙏👌
Thank you for showing us, I was just wondering what I could do with my sage besides cooking.🙏🏼❤️
Happy to share.
If you bite yourself, tongue or cheek, it usually takes a few days to heal because it swells up and you keep biting it. If you brush your teeth with sage oil/tincture in your homemade toothpaste, you will say ouch when you bite yourself and that will be the last that you are aware of it. If you don't use it daily as in toothpaste, simply make tea or use some tincture in water to rinse your mouth well.... and swallow it. It works on all the organs between mouth and anus.
وهل يمكن استبدال الفودكا بشيء آخر 🙈🙈🙈
You may use apple cider vinegar. But vinegar tinctures last only 2-3 years
What is the name of the herbal book and spelling of her name, please.
What is a tincture used for?
What's the name of the book??
Can you also the dry shage in the same way 🤔
Fresh is best, not just because it's fresh and no nutrients lost, but because it's easier to make. My herbal mentors advice to use only fresh herbs.
Why did you not put the no e.g. in first
Does it matter what type of sage
I use common sage
This was great! 🌱 Thank you!
I can’t find 100 proof vodka can I use 40%
80 prof is ok, but 100 proof is better. I had to go to a different store to find it.
@@lulishomestead6767 thanks, as always love your videos . I just ordered the book!
I use Everclear. 95% Alcohol and 190 proof.
@@ammieadams2643 thanks!
I use 80% a lot for the softer herbs. I use 100% for harder herbs like reshie mushrooms and roots, and bark.
100% is hard to find around here, even though we have lots of liquor stores. It's almost twice as expensive too. 😳 Not something people with little means can afford.
How much is too much though? Is it too much to use in tea? How many leaves would be too much in a coffee cup for tea?
Every person is different and requires different amounts in a day. I use about a large pinch of dried leaves, which is about a tablespoon
Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you for sharing 🥰
You are so welcome
Can you also do basil and oregano?
I know basil tea releases headaches.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🙏
About how much honey did you use?
Equal amount to liquid
Can tinctures be put into a cup of tea or does it have to be a cold drink? Thanks.
Yes you can!
Could you do a video on uses & preparation of self heal plant. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.❤
Good video. Was that a pint jar you were using?
It's a little bigger than a pint. I believe it's 750ml or in American 3/4st of a quart
Hey, can you help me? Can I use sage and dan shen?
Do you use dried herbs and oils?
Thank you!
🙂
Thank you so much
Bangla
Perfect timing I just picked a bunch of my sage will make both these and they will be ready start of June our winter. Love your videos simple easy straight to the point and always using the old universal measurement of " just eyeball it" 👍🏻
I hope to visit Australia one day!
It is a beautiful place
Thank you ❤
After we strain the plant material that we use for the tincture do we just through it out or can we use the bi product for something else. Thank you for the lesson.
It's goog for men that sweat.
Interesting!
I cannot get 100 proof, can only get 40%. Will that be ok?
Can dried b used
Yes, absolutely!
What if I don't drink alcohol?
The other options are to use vegetable glycerin or vinegar. But those tinctures are different and weaker, and also have a much shorter shelf life
Vodka...lol...I'm sold.
❤❤❤
I add the honey in the jar first… no sticks needed. ❤ great video
Can you use apple cider vinegar in the elixir????
Yea, but will have a much ch shorted shelf life
Interesting information on tinctures. From what I read, dried is better because none of the water (from fresh herbs) gets in it and weakens the preserving effects of the alcohol. I never heard to rehydrate dried before adding alcohol. I just do the same with the dried, as you do with fresh. 🤷🏼♀️
Herbs have water soluble and alcohol soluble properties
Many preferences are out there. The good news is that alcohol is a water material.
Often dried herb is best for oil infusions due to the water content in the fresh plant.
I taught Chemistry for 20 years. There is a common saying, “like dissolves like”. Alcohol is good to use for tinctures due to its characteristics. I’d agree to add alcohol first, then honey.
Can I use this as eyedrops to improve vision?(I've been dizzy for fifteen years and I can't stand it)
Castor oil has been shown to help the eyes. You can research it. I’m not a doctor.
Magnesium cured my vertigo. Research it.🙏💖🙏
@@lulabelle4760 I tried taking in large amounts of cacao that has high amounts of magnesium in it, but it didn't help with my eyesight or dizziness.
Look into resetting your inner ear crystals for the dizziness. Can do research online, or a good chiropractor for positioning.
Bummer😭😭😭
