This is a western version of dit da jow, essentially. You don't use rubbing ahohol with those, though. Just some cheap 80 proof vodka. Agitate twice a day and keep it in the dark for 3 to 6 weeks before first use.
Have you come across any containers like the bottles with sponges of the old Abosorbing JR.? I think I'd prefer to apply a liniment with one like that instead of spraying it on.
A liniment is for topical use only. Especially with isopropyl alcohol. *Rubbing alcohol can kill you if ingested.* It is used primarily because of its stable shelf life, quick evaporation and it leaves zero residue (unlike oils). Tinctures are made with ethanol or drinking alcohol. They are intended for internal use. They are more like pharmaceutical pills but in liquid form. So you take a dropper and drip several drops of tincture on your tongue.

+Brittany Priest Hi Brittany, an herbal liniment of this method is pretty much a tincture! They are both excellent for including in cosmetics. You can infuse herbs into your preferred carrier and they are all excellent methods, I enjoy infusing into witch hazel for facial toners, oils for lotions and alcohol for tinctures and for adding a bit of extra botanical goodness to my toners and sprays. I hope this helps. ~Alieta
Hi there! We are not able to suggest which liniment would work best for your needs, as a blocked nose can be caused by numerous things. We'd recommend connecting with a qualified healthcare professional to determine what treatment is best for your specific concerns. Best of luck to you!
This is a good example of making linaments. I would only add that I put a litle more info on my labels i.e. where the herbs were obtained, where the linament was made, latin names of herbs, what it can be used for. I would also mix the herbs prior to putting them in the jar.
Yes! You'll notice lots of herbal extracts are already contained within your beauty products from the store. Extracts are made with a solvent, which can be either water, CO2, alcohol, or glycerine, and then added to the formula. Normally that extract would be part of a formula and not on it's own. Please make sure to consult a medical practitioner or herbalist before directly applying an extract to the skin.
tuina1 Hi there~Thank you for sharing your question. The cayenne and cinnamon do have a warming effect in this liniment. You may need to adjust the recipe to get it just the way you want it, however. We so appreciate you watching the video. Cheers! ~Kori
Hi Sue, great question! A grain alcohol would be something made out of corn, rye, wheat, sugarcane, etc. Some common examples you can find are Everclear, Alcohol-95, and Golden Grain. I hope that helps! - Gracie
Let me guess and from your etsy store as well 🙄 Just sayin. People aren’t here to save money. They are here to learn how to do things themselves and become less dependent consumers. Just sayin. You can also forage for most of these plants for free. Just sayin. Your terrible advice goes against that in every single way. Just sayin.
Then you didn’t follow the recipe or you were expecting some sort of magical panacea. If you purchased all those ingredients you’d have enough to try again. Fake story!
You can make herbal glycerites with vegetable glycerin or herbal vinegars in place of alcohol extracts. Thanks for your question!
~Erin
You guys really do such a good job with these tutorials they are so easy to follow thank you I really appreciate it
Thank you! I've been looking for a holistic liniment for my horse for awhile. Excited to try this recipe out!
vinegars (apple cider, rice,) make great liniments. No need to use alcohol, even on skin.

Can fresh herbs be used the same way?
Sure, Kevin, you can add essential oils to your herbal liniments, including lavender essential oil! Good luck ~Kori
Thank you for your video. I use everclear to make lotion and was wondering if I would be able to incorporate this liniment into my lotion recipe.
Liniments are very effective great vid
Can you use green rubbing alcohol
On the farm always grew comfrey for my goats
I am so sorry this didn't work out for you. Was it the recipe that didn't work out or the liniment didn't do what you hoped it would do? ~Kori
Can Turmeric be added?
Are you able to add lavender oil to this recipe? Thanx

what is the difference of a liniment and tincture then?

Can you use tintures topically?

Thank you guys for this information! Would you all say that a liniment would be better for cosmetic products as opposed to a tincture?

Unless you did some kind of
Trick photography I didn’t see no cup of liquid come out of that mix
How long can an herbal liniment last before it goes bad?
With alcohol, that stuff basically never goes bad. It may become much less potent and effective over several years.
how many mL does it makes?
This produced a little over a cup of liquid. A cup has 8 ounces. Find a calculator to translate into metric.
We don't sell "rubbing alcohol" in Europe! So, as Apple Cider Vinegar!There must be a reason, but I dunno why ...
How to using alkohol thank you

You could have bought one premade on Etsy first before spending the money on all the ingredients. Just sayin'.

@The Last Taarakian Oh what a lovely response! (Just sayin'😂)
I made this liniment and it DOES NOT WORK! I wasted so much money :(
Then you didn’t follow the recipe or you were expecting some sort of magical panacea. If you purchased all those ingredients you’d have enough to try again. Fake story!
Also this isn't an over night thing. These home remedies take time.
