In this video we make tincture from the Lobelia we harvested a few weeks ago. Lobelia can be used in several ways medicinally but tincture is the most common form of use, and generally regarded as a safer way to take Lobelia.
The uses of Lobelia can range from just a supporting herb in a larger concoction for many ailments, to clearing/soothing the lungs, to produce sweat or vomit, to pain relief and easing tension in muscles. Lobelia's uses are many and in the 18th century was one of the most widely used herbs.
Tincture is easy to make assuming you have an understanding of the plant you're using, and requires few materials and just a little time.
Before making tincture from any plant you should know: How to identify it, how to harvest/what parts to use, what time of year to harvest, if the plant is safe for you to use. Things like medications you may be taking, medical conditions you may have, and allergies are some of the big concerns. So please research a plant you may want to make tincture out of, give that information to your doctor, and go from there before harvesting a plant and making tincture.
