My herbal experiments

More to say!

I have many more experiments

I have started my willow bark tincture with alchohol for pain and tension

I plan to get witch hazel bark and either steam distill or make a tincture with alchohol. This will be a wonderful(and powerful) disinfectant, antibacterial and anti inflammatory, and it’s main use will be for spot treating acne. This is much more powerful than the store bought witch hazel toners, etc. I will likely dilute it.

I have a feverfew tincture, which is a fuzzy leaf that helps with headaches and migraines.

I will make a yarrow flower salve for pain, but due to time I’ll have to mull over this more… as I’m leaving for home in just under 4 weeks.

I’m making a nettle seed tincture, which is an adaptogen- used for energy, libido, and healing a feeling of burnt out.

I also put my wild carrot seeds in alchohol which will be good for digestion, stimulating the intestinal track gently, and stimulating the thyroid

Most excitingly- although this whole week was an exciting foraging week- I found valerian root, which is exceptional for sleep and insomnia, and I found St Johns Wort, which I will make a tincture of for regulating dopamine, serotonin, and melatonin. It does have an issue of increasing skin sensitivity.

Those are my updates!
