Thank you for reading my comment and allowing me as an unpaid follower to comment ... I will sub as soon as finances get better as yours is my favourite since I do study natural remedies and make my own tinctures.

I will highly recommend tinctures as probably the ONLY safe method of supplementation of vital minerals and vitamins! I go hunting down any scientific studies to validate claims of a tincture remedy and if its confirmed, I then study which method to use depending on the make-up for the properties to be extracted. For example mushrooms needs duel extraction using both alcohol then a water extraction then you mix them together, whereas oregano you can do alcohol only. Ive done a very potent oregano tincture using absinthe! Talk about one powerful local anesthetic that helped my son with the pain from a wisdom tooth!

One real fun part is to take the tincture one step further and let it evaporate which leaves just the oil. I see many online who promote evaporating by heat but I let mine do it naturally although it takes longer. Seems senseless to destroy some of the properties youve just extracted by using a heat process to evaporate the alcohol! ... the less processing, the better.

I even give the egg shells back to the chooks, nicely crushed up to a fine grit, they love it!

Im trying to reduce the snails in my aquarium, they are eating all the plants in there ... the chooks love them lol 💜
