Homemade Echinacea Tincture Using Fresh Coneflowers

[@RS-ru5ds]

I LOVE The story about your Gma saying God provides what you need! I learned that for myself this year! Wild lettuce is most abundant in my yard. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Constant pain is just one of the things I deal with. I planted Echinacea and chamomile last year and they are doing well. This is why brought me to your video. I am just learning about herbs and am fascinated! I have an app on my phone called picture this, that helps my to learn what the plants I find are. I was excited to find St Johns Wart in the field out back!! It's amazing, the wonderful herbs God provides!!

[@lulishomestead6767]

Hi! I also use that app, however, sometimes it did not work when I was hiking in the mountains. I had a small book about the local herbs for New England area which helped to identify. I made wild lettuce medicine last year, and accidentally burned it while reducing the juice. Sadly it was unusable.

Wonderful coming across your channel...I grew up with an OMA who I adored,she baked ...she grew her garden at the edge of town on a rented piece of land,weekends were spent weeding and caring for the garden sleeping there on occasions ...and me riding there on her bicycle handlebars,I was so nurtured and learned so much...she was my inspiration as a child ...to me she knew EVERYTHING.and I also remember her making Cremes and balms from chamomile ....she is long since gone but her wisdom has stayed with me and my own love of nature and the earth...my own garden my own Cremes all came from her...something to pass down to my children and grandchildren...they call me the good witch lol but sometimes the old ways are the best...stay blessed and thank you for sharing what you know...

Thank you. I will be digging up some roots in the fall to make an Echinacea root tincture

[@normabussey2254]

Thank you so much.....I will intend to try this with my next summer’s echinacea. So appreciate your video sweetie. Natural is the true benevolent healing. 💜

Your videos have taught me so much over the past couple of years. I just began making plant education videos on my own channel last year, and just began my Sonoran desert herbal Medicine series. Thanks for all the wonderful content!

que bonito video, mas en estos tiempos, gracias a ti y a tu babuska por sus conocimientos, no sé, si en las latitudes de ciudad de Mexico crece la equinacea pero lo voy a averiguar y haré tu receta

Thanks for making the video. I take echinacea. It’s my “go to” for colds and allergies (with cod liver oil oil capsules) for 25 years. I’m just starting to learn how to grow herbs.

[@lulishomestead6767]

This herb is very easy to grow! I love my parental herbs.

@@lulishomestead6767 Ok, I just put some marigold petals in my salad for the eye leutin health. Hey you have any cataract prevention or get rid of suggestions? I’m doing organic Castrol eye drops(worked immediately on dry eyes) and just started drinking coconut water as well.

[@lulishomestead6767]

I believe prevention is the key. Yes, I have heard of caster oil, however, only at night time.

[@CocoChanelle-1]

@@lulishomestead6767 yes that was recommended.

What a great and helpful video, I loved hearing your stories about your babushka. Thanks for sharing! I’ve subscribed and can’t wait to see more.

Thank you! I am about to post a new video on medicinal herbs.

[@user-et7fv6fz6q]

I finally have enough growing I feel comfortable using some for tinctures. I have mostly 2 and 3 year plants along with a lot of one years popping up here and there. Have you used the root snd if so do you go for minimum 2 year? I also wonder if the root tincture more potent or maybe a mix of them.

[@mahtorra7052]

Really nice and informative video thanks. Would you please let me know which reference book you were using.

[@lulishomestead6767]

I use many references. Some are research articles I found on Google Scholar

[@cookingprincess327]

I don’t drink alcohol so I was hesitant to do tinctures. Now knowing I can use your method of water and waiting I can make tinctures using alcohol. That little glass you had, can you tell me where you purchased it? Thank you and glad I found your channel. Do you keep vodka in freezer? What brand name of vodka is good to use for tinctures? Thanks again.

[@lulishomestead6767]

Hi! I usually get my brown glass bottles on Amazon. I look for the best deal because I try to be frugal. As far as alcohol, I asked for 100% vodka at the store. I don't pay attention to the labels of alcohol, i am not a drinker...

I also have white cone flowers. Will those work the same as purple?

Hi I brought one enchinacea plant in NZ for 20 dollars it only has five flower stem , I buy enchinacea for tea do you have tips to have abundant plant growth please..

[@lulishomestead6767]

Give it a couple of years, they will spread!

[@squashit339]

So if you were to get sick, how much of the tincture do you use? Thank you for the video!

[@lulishomestead6767]

Hi! Thank you! I don't think there is a golden standard for tincture dosage. I am not prescribing, just sharing how much I take... for preventative about 30 drops daily (which is about a whole dropper) , when sick i take it 3 times a day. Some herbalist recommend 1 drop per every 2 lb of body weight.

What reasons do you personally use this tincture to help?

[@frankhenderson2443]

Can I use any echinacea for tea or is it best to use the purple coneflower type?

[@lulishomestead6767]

I cut off the top part of the plant, the flower and a few leaves plus the stem.

@@lulishomestead6767 thank you. Ive seen so many different kinds of coneflower, can they all be used for tea or is the purple coneflower the only medicinal one?

I only use the Echinacea purpurea which is the purple cone flowers.

I saw somewhere else that a person froze theirs in a ziplock bag as well.

[@lulishomestead6767]

I like the freezing method, because it helps to break down the cellular structure of the plant.

I have partial bottles of different kinds of alcohol. Can I use them instead of vodka

[@lulishomestead6767]

I have never tried that. I was always advised to use higher grade alcohol ( vodka)

[@24bidy]

What you have is Echinacea purpurea this one have less medicinal properties ,what you should use is a Echinacea angustifolia

[@lulishomestead6767]

Thanks for the tip.

[@hmartin751]

Has the same medicinal properties as angustifolia!
