Tincture Preparation at MUIH 

Great work on the presentation. As a practitioner it brings me back to my training.

I'm understanding that process The video very useful thanks for that.

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you.

Both of them so nice ,. nice presentation

Wow I just appreciate how well you guys explained the whole process Thank You

*That's crazy, powered form Ashwagandha is the exact herb I am seeking to make a tincture from right now - which is what prompted me to watch this video. Wild.* Nichole you're cute

Very Impressive, Thank You ❤️🙏

Great video, thank you

Outstanding presentation.

what a fantastic video. Thank you

The end of the bottle jack handle normally slides onto the hydraulic release valve so you can open or close it, no need for those pliers 👍

Big fan from India thanks mam

Nice informative videos

Great info. You provided the amount of water (1021 ml) but did not provide the amount of alcohol, can you please provide that info. Thanks!

Thanks for the great clip. Where do you recommend buying a good press?

Thanks pl bring more such videos

Awesome!

Nice and very well

This has been so educative. Where can I find the tincture press? I have never thought about having one. Thank you for enlightening me.

Very nicely explained mam, god bless we make in India as Aswagandharishta and aswagandhaasava ready to use with dilruin of water for disease in ayurveda

I thought Tinctures were herbs sitting in alcohol only, not with water added because of shelf life and to prevent bacteria from growing.

Wow! Thank you for sharing knowledge. I am surprised that there is a university graduating profesional in this particular field!!! I am from Panamá 🇵🇦 and wondering if you offer online practical courses? Anyway thanks again. You are awesome!!!

Dr Hauskha doesn't use alcohol, glycerin, or any heating process as a solvent. Do you know their process? Many thanks

How would you make a tincture with granules (pre-cooked herbs made into granules)?

Awesome

This was so helpful. Thank you

Your grate madam

In India, we are given ashwagandha powder or tablets to maintain good health... thank you for sharing such detailed video. Could you please guide me with ratio for Hamamelis Virginica? I use it for my daughter's chronic summer nose bleeds but can't find the mother tincture easily in USA.

What are the uses of those alcohol extracts? Can I add them to soap or cosmetics

its quite funny we used to do this India at a large scale pre 21st century now its all tablets. LMAO

I tried making a 1:4 ratio eleuthero root tincture using 200 g dried root (chopped) to 800 ml alcohol. Well,I am on my way to binnys now to buy more alcohol as my herbs are about half way only submerged.

1-2 weeks? The tutorials I've seen say 5-8 weeks. Is the longer time because they're using fresh green plant material instead of dried? I plan to use both at different times, so I'd really like to know the turnaround time.

How much alcohol did you add with 1000ml of water?

Hi, what was ratio of water and alcohol, second ratio of solvent and herb was 1:5 means 100 gm herb and 500 water and alcohol?

no angry tincture makers-VERY IMPORTANT

Would you say the one week rule works with oils as well?

Is the press hose made of silicone?

I'm looking for ways to revive *_the scent/fragrance_* of dried herbs, more specifically, of dried Catnip (nepeta cataria) that's lost much of its original aroma over time. After spending considerable time with online searches, I managed to find a grand total of 2(!) potential ways: Rehydration. Both had similar goals, ie, "to restore some of the *flavours* found in fresh herbs", so it didn't say anything on account of aroma (which is what I'm essentially looking for). Method 1: Put the dried herbs in a small bowl with enough water to cover them, leave for 10 minutes and strain. Method 2 (Leaves): Rehydrate in a solution of one part glycerin to two parts water, soak for 2 to 3 days, strain. Though this one didn't mention whether it was for consumption or, eg, decoration purposes. I've also read about making a tincture, using vodka (similar to making vanilla extract from pods), but again, intended for consumption purposes; besides, I don't think cats appreciate the alcohol smell, if I were to make something like a sprayable scent. So *please,* can anyone point me in the right direction? My kitty will be ever so grateful (especially after being introduced to the delights of *true* catnip aroma, but now has to do without for the time being). Problem is, good, potent catnip is extremely hard to come by here, in Holland. I bought a _"Yeowww"_ banana, *which was epic,* but alas, all 3 subsequent purchases were massive let-downs (utterly dried out, no smell whatsoever)😣, and since I don't have my own laboratory (or anyone else's) to distil my own catnip essence, I *_really_* need a good alternative to achieve my goal...

Do you make and sell specific tincture?

Do you also teach the percolation method?

Whats the ratio between withania somnifera and alcohol

Does anyone know if the spent herbs can be composted once they’ve been soaked?

I notice you only keep the mixture for a week before straining it. Nearly everywhere else says things like 4-6 weeks. Is a week enough? it would be great if a week was enough steeping for the process.

Good technology homeo tencher aswagandha ...D watwr & alcohol ...45% + 55 -- ...tencher formula , thanks , laxmi homeo pharmacy.. dr.kishan lal sharma. iindian....

Who makes the Press???

What's the measurement of distilled water & alcohol?

I'm trying to understand how can be just 1021 ml water in that formula. If the ratio is 1:5 at 45% ETOH the amount of water should be 1265 ml and 1035 g of alcohol (=1327 ml; 1 ml alcohol is 0,78g). Can somebody explain if I'm wrong? Thank you.

I’ve met Chinese who said they would soak ginseng root in vodka all the time without taking it out.When that is done they add more vodka and start the process. Again

Could you please list the exact measurements in detail and how we can press and process the products at home? Thanks

What type of Alcohol and percentages are you using for this?

So interesting :-) I'm wondering why are mother tinctures stored in only amber colored bottles, cant the green bottles be used for storing!

Any idea how esculentine tincture is prepared

No ac wiring behind the tinctures

Can someone point me to video on nux vomica please

Hi, it's interesting you mention a week is enough. Any souce? :-)

You can also use honey as an extract also

may I know you have Hematoxylin tinture?

you have heart of logwood tincture by chance?

Do you have a website to sell these tinctures your making

Do you supply for homoeopathy medicine also

No need to purify ashwaganda with milk?

what kind of alcohol?

How do you keep the tincture from burning under the tongue?

Please show how Ceanothus Americana Q is prepared

If I wanted to make a stronger tincture (if possible) can I strain the tincture and then take that same tincture and add herbs to it again to add more herbal benefits. If the answer is no, why not?

Can I make a tincture from fresh, raw plants? Thanks for the answer

What is stage 5 for?

How to extract with glycerin? Can I use vodka instead of water and alcohol?

What is the alcohol percentage %

Can you use lemon juice and water or honey and water to make herbal tinctures?🤔

Please tell Name Brand of alcohol with proof .

Why would you not measure in MG?

how much alcohol??

@Forest Farming, You didn’t explain the measurement well. You forgot to say what you measured on the alcohol. What is the ratio? I was so frustrated it’s like why go through all that but skip the important stuff?!?!

you used a blender? the heat destroys properties of herbs????? how are you guys trained

Can you show your online format?

No smart meters near tinctures

What is 5-1 ratio?

How can I make tincture from safron please.

This is my first time hearing of (I shall gonda; Ashley gonda (dont know how to spell it)) and they have said it so much in this video I would expect a compilation of every time they say it. The alternative is taking a shot every time they say "that" word. Seriously Google didn't understand what I was trying to say.

Everyone on this video high

Will someone please explain the 1:5 ratio? How does one determine how much liquid should be used for tincturing? She said 456 grams of ashwagandha root and 45% ethanol, so does that mean you do a calculation like this: 456×0.45 = 205.2 205.2 × 5 (the five times part of the ratio), which equals 1026 milliliters?? Someone, please help!

No wifi

You did not say how much alcohol. And I'm not an idiot although some may argue that lol How much water did you use? You said it in millimeters or something. I'm mathematically not inclined

Your florescent lighting is toxic and weakens your tinctures even with the brown bottles. No LEDs either.use 1920s style incandescent s or yellow bug lights ( incandescent s)

I've never made a tinture with water only vodka.

One week is really not enough and that hose with tape? no thanks

Very good lecture,, but my dear you are talking so fast. Viewer from other countries have no the English mother language. Please talk slow slow.

I hate ashwogandha.i used so much time not got any power even than simple egg.

Please turn off the background droning music.........

Real sterile environment ... not even wearing GLOVES! 👎🏼

This process does not appear very hygienic.

lol that is so so wrong. All those tinctures might as well go back to the ground. You have made. Did you not know that each herbs, flowers, barks, roots, leaves, stems, have a different percentage of alcohol. Some require 20%,30%, 40% 50%60% so on! What you're teaching to ppl is very wrong lol!

I really enjoyed your video, there was one concern for your health and safety in regards to no safety glasses, gloves or masks worn. Your exposure everyday to these powders and chemicals are dangerous. Also these tinctures amongst other things are for clients right, yes they get filtered, but your breathing all over it and using a bottle jack for a car over the tincture too.... woh...
