…. Just happened to come across you channel searching for making natural medicine. Absolutely love your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.❤
HELLO! I just found your channel while researching echinacea. You have a wonderful channel with a lot of useful information. I am currently watching your herbal playlist. I think it is so important for people to learn these old medicinal practices. You do a great job explaining the plants and their medicinal benefits and how to make tinctures, etc. Do you read a lot of herbal medicine books, or did your grandmother teach you most of what you know. Please share any books you recommend about herbal remedies! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just subscribed today, excited to watch more of your gardening videos as well. Cheers!
Thank you very much! I am happy to hear that you find my channel useful. My babushka and mama have taught me many home remedies, however, as a nurse and someone who deals with autoimmune disorders, I began to dive deeper into natural medicine. I have been off all pharmaceuticals for 7 years and continue to learn, search, and treat myself and my family herbaly. I will do a video on my favorite herbal books, it's just I am so busy with gardening and food preservation right now.
@@lulishomestead6767 thanks so much for the quick reply. No worries about a new video but I will keep an eye out for one from you. It would be nice to know what you like to use the most. What remedies you take regularly or daily maybe and the benefits of each. I just want to learn as much benefits as possible. Thanks again for sharing. Happy gardening!
“The 6 ft apart kind” lol that was so funny for some reason. Thank you for this wonderful information! Quick question, what percentage of alcohol do you find to be best?
Two questions. One, Ive seen a product called Thyme Out for skin problems. I'm assuming if I add some aloe, this would be essentially the same product? Two, How much do you take of the finished thyme product if you were taking it for a cold or other bronchial issue?
I use a tablespoon in a cup of warm water once a day, I rarely need it more than 2 days. But everyone is different you could start with 1 teaspoon and see if that works for you.
@@lulishomestead6767 haven't used it yet but apparently good for mixing with coconut oil and damp some cheese cloth with it, strain thoroughly and put on top of the frames. It's a way to control varroa mites on bees which I would like to experiment
I throw all my ingredients that are left over from making tinctures into a glass jar with filtered water and throw in a few orange or lemon peels. Leave it to brew under the sink in cabinet. I kill bugs with the spray, sometimes mold and use it as a general spray for surfaces. I use a high proof vodka for tinctures. I believe it gives longer shelf life. I also dry my herbs for a few days to get out moisture content to avoid any growth I don’t want. Remember to add more vodka, if needed, while resting to keep herbs submerged and you shouldn’t have any problems, dried or fresh. You can also infuse into vinegar or boiling water if you don’t like the booze. Good luck 🍀

Quick question, what percentage of alcohol do you find to be best?
50% alcohol
Lovely, thank you for sharing your herbal wisdom.
I am happy to share .
very nice! looks pretty simple
Thank you! Your kind comments mean a lot to me. It is simple. Homemade remedies shouldn't be complicated.
I will be making some of this soon. Thanks for the motivation!
You are welcome! I had to pick all of my thyme as it started going brown this late in the season.
@@lulishomestead6767 mine is still green but probably need to harvest soon. I did harvest some earlier for drying.
@@carolinjane54I also made some thyme butter. I froze it in small cubes for tge future 🐔 roasting.
Wonderful!❤
Thanks
Approx how much do you make for the winter? Looking for a ballpark figure, I know every family’s needs are different.
How do you take this? Thank you for this timely information.
I take15 drops 3-4 times a day when needed
This is the first video of you im watching. So far i like it.
Thanks

I am not familiar with that Thyme Out product.
As far as thyme tincture, I use 15-30 drops 2-4 times a day when needed
Helo dear ..What brand of affordable vodka you always use to mix with herbs??
Mostly I use potato vodka, but when looking for cheaper I just pick up anything that is 100 prof
@@lulishomestead6767 thats great!
Can you use lemon thyme?
Does the alcohol evaporate completely? I need to use some thyme oil for the bees
The alcohol will evaporate completely if boiled. Most will evaporate just at the raised temperature.
How do you use thyme oil for bees?

how to use the tincture? drink it directly or with water? thanks for sharing
Tincture is measured in drops. Some people place drops directly to mouth. I like to use a little water. I hold it for 30 seconds and swallow
@@lulishomestead6767 thanks very much
Great video, new sub 👍
What could I use instead of alcohol? I am in recovery and “allergic” to alcohol. 😉
Congratulations! That's so good! Vinegar or food-grade glycerin
Can we use garden thyme or does it have to be wild thyme?
I use garden thyme
@@lulishomestead6767 thanks💋
What do you do with the left over green after they soak? Can those be use for anything?
After the herb gives out all of its medicinal properties it goes into the compost pile.

I have a that tincture starting already
Great for respiratory. You can chew them and keep them under your tongue ( sublingually )
Best wishes
Do you wash the herbs before adding the vodka? Can you use whiskey?
You said 100% vodka. I think you mean 100 proof, which is 50% vodka.
Correct
