Instructions:

1. Prepare the Herbs:
   • Chop or crush dried herbs slightly to increase surface area.
   • Fill a clean glass jar halfway with the dried herbs.
2. Add Alcohol:
   • Pour vodka (or another high-proof alcohol) over the herbs until completely covered.
   • Ensure there is about 1 inch of liquid above the herbs.
3. Infusion Process:
   • Seal the jar tightly and shake well.
   • Store in a cool, dark place for 4–6 weeks, shaking the jar daily to ensure even extraction.
4. Strain & Bottle:
   • After at least 4 weeks, strain the liquid through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
   • Squeeze out all liquid from the herbs.
   • Pour the tincture into dark glass dropper bottles for storage.
5. Dosage & Use:
   • Take 30–60 drops (about 1–2 droppers full) in water or tea 1–3 times daily.
   • Best taken before meals for better absorption.
   • Consistency is key—use daily for at least 4 weeks to notice effects.

Notes:

• Always consult a healthcare provider before starting herbal treatments, especially if taking medications for blood pressure or circulation.
• If alcohol-based tinctures are not preferred, a glycerin-based tincture can be made using the same method but replacing alcohol with food-grade vegetable glycerin.
