I should really learn to do that, I make everything else including my own tincture of poppy (yes, it's just what you think). I have a gallon of star anise tincture put by - I made it 15 years ago when I first heard about bird flu. I have since learned that China has been steadily buying out the world's star anise supplies, for their bird flu remedies. It's good to learn to make your own, even if you just feel you want something for the day when the pharma stuff is no longer working or even around. I avoid all manufactured drugs, the Creator has given us all we need.
