How to make glycerin extracts using the sealed simmer method. Check out our comprehensive online medicine making course here: eclecticschoolofherbalmedicine...
Thanks for sharing that. I am making my second glycerine extract at home (vanilla) and this time I want to speed up with the extraction (glad I found this video). But I have couple questions: 1- can I make it into my oven keeping 112 ~ 118F ? 2- does the formula 60-40 works well to any extract, tincture?
Hi, nice video... please i am looking get a moringa herbal extract. I am confused about which ratio is more powerful. 10:1, 5:1, 50:1, which of these extract ratios will contain the full spectrum of the herb properties? Look forward to you kind response.
My question is what is the difference between a rosemary extract using glycerine, and rosemary extract using acetone? I have made a rosemary extract by using glycerine it smells lovely and thin. I bought an extract online it is take and not as lovely. My second question is how come their reo is an antioxidant? Is there any chemical added to it? Thank you in advanced. By the way love your book, modern herbal dispensatory.
Loved your percolator tutorial. I would just use 1000ml tube with glass stockcock instead of a bottle cut off. My question: I am getting an extractcraft turbo, next month I will have saved up for my percolator, filters & unbleached filters, also a 80mm Buchner funnel kit with handle squeeze vacuum pump & 500ml Flask with stand . One goal is to put whole avocado skin, seed (cut up or grated) avocado meat into my Excalibur dehydrator (@113%F) to preserve enzymes. Once dried out I was going to try menstrum 190 proof Everlast in my extractcraft or hopefully I can get my NOIDS by then. Sorry for typing soooo long. How would you make avocado oil?
I broke too many tips off of the 1000ml tubes with a built-in stopcock. I also like that I can get my whole hand in the wider mouth. Alcohol is going to denature the enzymes, as will your stomach acid, so I wouldn't worry about trying to preserve them.
Thank you for sharing this great information. Question, can I add a small amount of alcohol to increase shelf life? At what point do I add the alcohol? . Thank you 😊.
Being you add water, what preservatives would you recommend for the herbal glycerin solutions? Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't heating over 118 degree F destroy the enzymes and/or the medicinal values?
Hello! I’m studying Herbal Medicine and I have a question in the regards for Glycerine Tinctures. My question was can I do the standard method first?As in instead of Heating it first I would Simply shake it up for 6 weeks- too two months, and then after it’s completed I do your method, which is putting it in a pot for 6 hours to get all the extra Medicinal properties that didn’t come out yet, could this work? And would this be more potent?
It would not be better to squeeze it with gloves, you would not get as much out, and your hands would be much more sore. Also the increased temperature helps the extraction.
In your book,The Modern Herbal Dispensary, you say to process the herbs in the glycerine/water mix in boiling water for only 15-30 min. Why is it you say six hours here? Which is correct?
Think of it like the difference between making an infusion and decoction. For delicate flowers 15-30min is enough. For roots and barks longer is better. This is one of several points I'm hoping to clear up in the next edition.
This is kind of a weird question but can you vape these herbal juices? I vape Valerian e-juice and other herbal blends that I purchase online. One of them from a brand called Bear Blends is 100% VG (vegetable glycerin). I water it down with propylene glycol for the vape so it's thinner. My question is do you think this would be vape-able? Anything mixed with VG is usually vape-able, even if there is no propylene glycol (PG) in it (or you could add PG to it). It's still absolutely vape-able even with JUST the VG.
Same question here I have flavorless eliquid with nicotine in it 18mg so alot but I have 70%vg 30%pg so if i just used that w no water would it work or should i somehow involve water and evaporate the water leaving behind the goodies in my e liquid but idk if ill boul away the nicotine or the vg pg... and if I made this 60/40ratio with like 200 grams instead of 80 grams it would work right? Idk how to do the math I mean with the glycerite and water not the e liquid? So 616 or 660 ml (couldn't hear u) and 200ml water? kinda confused w the 1:8 thing you said i didn't get it...
It is calculated from total amount. 400 glycerin + 260 water = 660 total 400/660 = .606 or 60.6% Glycerin 260/660 = .394 or 39.4% water Hope that helps
When I'm making medicines for clients or my product line my beard goes into a ponytail and gets covered, as does my head hair. When I'm making videos I prefer to be comfortable.
A few months back I ordered bulk bags of Chlorella and Spirulina powder, and turns out my gut hates it the stuff. I'm not willing to chuck it out, so I was thinking making an extract. Is this possible with powders such as these? I was thinking tea, but I don't think that would extract the goodies... Anyone with any knowledge who can give me a point in the right direction will get a interweb hug and healthy cookie! tanka 🙏
The quality you buy is very important. Best spirulina is Hawaiian spirulina has no heavy metals. If you get those from china, they are filled with heavy metals that make you sicker
@@valerieoye6009 Cheers for the heads up. I had figured this out a few months ago... I sort of panic bought a lot of health foods... I didn't buy any that has been heavy metal tested - which was dumb. I'll probably continue to take it somehow, but with Nettle and Coriander.

Loving your beard !! Would a enzyme based liquid be able to extract the medicinal properties out of herbs ?
Great vid. Allergic to alcohol. What about crushing the fresh herbs first ???? With the wooden thingy???

hello can you please suggest an exact temperature for those of us who have an immersion circulator to use?

What is the preservative used to store
Which plant constituents does glycerine extract?
Is milk thistle an herb that needs decoction before adding it to your menstruum?
Living at 5000 ft.high desert. Could I use solar for 6hours...place jar in direct sunlight or in a dark bag for 6 hours.?
Please I didn't quite understand how to calculate the ration
hi. Pleaee help me. How do i make lemon or orange zest glcerite. Do i have to preserve it and what would be the shell life.
Thanks
Sheesh you have great hair!
Potatoe what? Potatoe riser? where to buy one?

Perfect herbs for covid. Juniper berries and eucalyptus leaves. ❤
wouldn't the remainder be 240ml of glycerin
Sorry for the grammar mistakes.
Will this work with cucumber?
Great video, thank you for sharing. Question: Instead of heating it, can I keep it in a cupboard, shaking it everyday, for 6 wks, then strain it?
Using heat works much better than doing a standard maceration.
Can I use 100% glycerin?
Hi there, great video. Does the herb have to be dry? Or can you use fresh herb from garden?
Thanks, Diana
Freshly dried works best. If you use fresh the risk is watering the glycerine down so much you allow bacterial growth.
Thank you for sharing this great information. Question, can I add a small amount of alcohol to increase shelf life? At what point do I add the alcohol? . Thank you 😊.
You mention 6 hours at a simmer, but Steven teaches 40 minutes. Can you tell me the benefit of increasing that time by so much? Thanks!
It's low temp. It won't hurt it. Some herbs need longer. It's a general guideline.
Can we make chaga extract using glycerin? There's hardly any information on this online, so thanks a lot for any insight
I would look into double extractions for mushrooms.
Being you add water, what preservatives would you recommend for the herbal glycerin solutions? Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't heating over 118 degree F destroy the enzymes and/or the medicinal values?
Herbs were traditionally prepared almost exclusively through decoction. If 212f doesn't hurt the medicinal properties, 118f won't either.
I was more focused on his beard than what he was saying

You can do that, but I don't think it will be stronger.
It would be better to squize it with gloves!
And the temperature should not be higher than 45 celsius, for 3 days.
It would not be better to squeeze it with gloves, you would not get as much out, and your hands would be much more sore. Also the increased temperature helps the extraction.
Should I add a preservative since water is being added to this formula? Or is that what heating it is for?
The glycerin is a preservative at concentrations over 55%

You can vape herbal glycerites if you evaporate the water off. The effects, and safety, depend upon the herb
Please reply me. How will be the shelflife of this. Will it last longer for 1 year?
Glycerites typically last from 6 months up to 2 years according to my herbal teacher.
Thank you
Soak herbs in Brandy for 4 weeks then add glycerine to mellow it
yes I would not use water.
This guy's got one FUCK of a long beard...GODDAMN!
The secret is to not shave.
may I ask, wouldn't 40% of the glycerin equate to 160ml of water?
It is calculated from total amount. 400 glycerin + 260 water = 660 total
400/660 = .606 or 60.6% Glycerin
260/660 = .394 or 39.4% water
Hope that helps
Do you cover your beard when making skincare products? Hair falls off the body all the time so it should be covered or something
When I'm making medicines for clients or my product line my beard goes into a ponytail and gets covered, as does my head hair. When I'm making videos I prefer to be comfortable.
I'd bet my last penny, that he knows that! 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️

are you using dried herbs?
Yep
MNI WICONI!
This math is off
Squeeeeeeeze out....
Quite disgusting that you do NOT wear a hair net. Extremely POOR Hygiene
Be grateful for the instruction and make your own.
They don't make one long enough for the beard then you couldn't see him talk
looool

Turn it off and don’t watch it then. Are you using the tincture that he’s making in this film??🤪
