Long known as the "go-to" herb for supporting a healthy immune system, echinacea was listed as one of the top 13 herbal supplements consumed by Americans according to a recent poll by the National Marketing Institute.
Echinacea is an ideal herb for promoting healthy immunity and supporting the body during winter seasons when the body's defenses need an extra boost.*
*This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
ECHINACEA TINCTURE
Echinacea Echinacea angustifolia: 1 ounce
Alcohol such as vodka or even apple cider vinegar: 1 pint
Mix herb with alcohol or cider vinegar in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, such as a canning or preserving jar.
Keep the tincture in a tightly closed jar in a warm spot (but not in the sun), for approximately two weeks.
Shake the tincture two to three times every day.
After two weeks*, strain the tincture through pharmaceutical filter paper, a coffee filter, cheesecloth, or muslin. You may need to strain your tincture two or even three times to remove all of the herb solids. Leaving solids in your tincture may lead to mold and spoilage.
Store your tincture in a dark bottle or cupboard.
Half a pint of tincture should equal the potency of one ounce of the fresh herb, so approximately one teaspoon will equal the strength of one cup of infusion.
The dose is small, approximately 20 to 40 drops three times a day, although this varies with each herb. Dilute in approximately one-quarter cup of water to take.
*Note that the consensus is that the minimum time to extract herbs into a tincture is two weeks, and the maximum time is three months. Extraction time also depends on the plant material and the percentage of alcohol needed. Most above ground plant parts only need about 40% alcohol and will extract very quickly. Tougher roots and rhizomes typically need a higher percentage of alcohol and longer time to extract.

Have you ever used Epsom salts for melting stress and easing muscle tightness? How does it work?
In water, epsom salts break down into magnesium and sulfate. The theory is that the body will absorb the salts to equalize and detoxify. The Mayo Clinic recommends an epsom salt soak for minor sprains, bruises, muscle or joint discomfort, and tired feet.
While this folk remedy has been used for generations, and doctors often recommend this treatment, research fails to affirm or deny the claims, so check with your doctor before using.
Green Tea and Herb Soak
The contents of one green tea bag
1/4 cup rosemary
1/4 cup mint
1 tablespoon chamomile
1 tablespoon lavender
1-2 cups epsom salts, or amount recommended by physician
Place the ingredients into a large tea ball or cheesecloth/muslin square. If you are using the cheesecloth/muslin, tie the cloth together with a beautiful ribbon. To use, simply place over a faucet and let water pour through the tea ball or cheesecloth/muslin square. Add a tablespoon of cider vinegar to the water as you are filling the tub.
