How to Make Oregano Tincture at Home

[@Goyayoya1965]

Hello, I want to share my experience. Everything I used to eat , have no idea what was the guilty one, produced mucus and clogged my nostrils. I have mint in drops and believe me, one drop at night before sleeping was enough to breath better. I assume I have candida but doctors never knew anything besides sending me sprays and so on. I'm more amicable with herbs and natural medicine than with chemicals. This one drop of mint with a little of water have done much more than sprays, antibiotics and so many useless things doctors recommend. I first thank God for his plants, they are his gifts for us the humanity.

[@lulishomestead6767]

Thank you for sharing. I believe there is a place and time for the professional help. I grew up being treated naturally and I believe there is a place for natural/herbal treatments. Best wishes, keep on your herbal journey!

[@livefreeallways]

Did you make the mint tincture yourself. As far as allergies you may be dealing with mycotoxins other than many foods can be mucus forming esp. grains and dairy.

Good morning! Thank you for you're advice! Be safe in the storm today! Be well....

[@lulishomestead6767]

Thank you

[@crochetgottaloveit]

I am brand new to using my herbs medicinally and I am looking forward to make my first batch of oregano tincture . Thank you for your clear directions and for making this video. 😊

[@lulishomestead6767]

Welcome!

I planted Oregano last year, 2023 , I use it by boiling in cooking oil, then put in jar and add wick to deter mosquitos and fleas indoor. It works, didn’t know it’s also medicinal taken by mouth. Oregano grew so fast now it’s like a jungle in my backyard. Thanks, I was wondering how to use the oregano tincture, if it’s topical or by mouth. Now I know.

[@lulishomestead6767]

Keep on learning!

[@NanaR504]

Thanks for the suggestion to use paper on the lid. I usually dry my oregano, but will try fresh next time.

[@lulishomestead6767]

Sometimes I use plastic covers. If available

[@sherececocco]

Thank you for your energy

[@lulishomestead6767]

Always!

[@racheloberry8562]

Can you use oregano that has bloomed and gone to seed?

[@lulishomestead6767]

Absolutely!

[@flowerchild8267]

How do you use it, how many drops,can you put it in hot tea, please and thank you, very good video

[@lulishomestead6767]

As an adult I use about one dropper full 4-6 times a day when dealing with cold or other viral issues

[@sa-ny2be]

May I ask what the name of the rich purple leaf plant is at time stamp 1:15? I have had all over my yard for many years. I’m very curious to just know it’s name. I truly enjoy her as I wonder where I’ll find her each year here in zone 6b/7a depending on the map.

That is Basil

Thank you 🧡🪴

[@serela1963]

great! thanks. In a previous video you talked about stopping slugs and snails naturally? I couldn't find the link?

[@lulishomestead6767]

Hi! Sorry, that video never got posted. I use shallow containers with beer and place them near plants late in the evening. Slugs like beer, come in for a drink and die. I like to empty those containers in the morning. Also, crush eggshells and sprinkle around the base of the plant. Early in the morning, around 5 am they also may be collected straight from the plant (but I usually busy at 5am 🤣)

[@fritzeckstein95]

do you have a video where you go into your uses? or is that not allowed by youtube :D

[@ashley1400]

Thank you! I just harvested my fresh oregano and will be making my first tincture! I have a question I've been wondering about: Why is a tincture more potent than just chewing and eating the fresh plant?

[@lulishomestead6767]

You are welcome. Tinctures are potent because they are extracted by alcohol resins and alkaloids, that are not water-soluble. I am sure eating and chewing herbs will give provide some benefits. Just think how many herbs are required in one tincture preparation, definitely more than we can eat. Best wishes.

[@dawnspiekerman4257]

Can you include flowers if very young and not quite bloomed?

[@lulishomestead6767]

Yes

[@marthas3486]

Do you have any home remedy that you use for arthritis?

I do , and I should create a video. Stay tuned.

Is this way of tincture can be ingested and digested? Or just topical?

Hi Elaine,, I use it internally counted in drops.

How do you grow oregano?

[@lulishomestead6767]

I like to start from seeds in early spring and transplant into open soil in May. Oregano grows well in pots as well.

[@marystephens9150]

Can you use dry, organic oregano from the store? I didn’t grow oregano this year.

[@lulishomestead6767]

I do not use dry materials for my timctures. Yes, store bought are good, keep it organic.

[@ChristineWagner]

dry material is fine for tinctures , in fact it is more commonly used and more concentrated

[@jackiecollins7782]

How much in weight of fresh orengano pls roughly ?

[@lindasigner9402]

Does it have the same benefit/work the same, to use a lower proof vodka and also if it’s the cheapest vodka?

[@plantbug5010]

Is it okay to do this with the Cuban oregano plant? Because thats the one i have.

[@lulishomestead6767]

I am not familiar with that

[@FabioBortone-zx3qc]

Yes.. Cuban/Mexican Oregano it is a strong oregano. my father grows it. it is great as a tea even fresh as well since it has a lemon flavor

[@livefreeallways]

So it looks like it's okay to use fresh rather than dried oregano?

[@lulishomestead6767]

That is correct

[@Учусьвыращивать]

Congratulations on your 1st Thousand! 😀

[@lulishomestead6767]

Thanks!

[@stacycook7155]

OK, my oregano is growing beautifully outside, but it has already flowered. Can I use flowers& leaves and cut them from the stem to make this tincture? Or is it too late? I have my organic vodka ready to go...

[@lulishomestead6767]

Absolutely! I love to use dry flowers for tea

[@FromJulianna]

is it healthy to take drops that have vodka in it?

[@lulishomestead6767]

It’s medical use of very small amounts

[@rubiabella3612]

How many drops

[@lulishomestead6767]

Herbal support is not the same as medicine. It should be on individual basis. I start with a dropper full a few times a day and see how I feels. Sometimes I have to take 2 dropper full 3-4 times a day.

Can you use ethanol alcohol?

[@lulishomestead6767]

Hi, I don't believe ethanol alcohol is safe for internal consumption. I use regular vodka, it lasts a very long time.

[@touchedbyFatherGod]

@@lulishomestead6767 Thank you so much!!!

[@RobertDinTulsa]

Both of you need to perform a simple internet search on the subject. Ethanol = ethyl alcohol = grain alcohol = drinking alcohol = alcohol

[@irenedepot397]

What can I use if I can not use alcohol. I have allergy to alcohol.

[@XavierDujuan]

Food grade vegetable glycerine. It's not as potent and doesn't last as long but it's one of the substitute methods.

[@pattymcclannahan8094]

Do you have to use alcohol?

[@lulishomestead6767]

You may use vinegar or vegetable glycerin, but will be much weaker and have a short shelf life

[@cheriemiller-kling4654]

@@lulishomestead6767I have just made an oil of oregano. A concentrated extract pre diluted with EVOO that sat for 30 days. It should have a shelf life of a year. How does vodka make it different? Can it be used orally, topically, edible and digestible like EVOO?

How long will it store for?

[@lulishomestead6767]

Good question. Tinctures last a very long time. Vodka based tinctures last 10 years, however, vinegar and glycerin based only 6 months to a year.

Tik tok shows filling with organic olive oil instead of alchohol? I'm confused.

[@lulishomestead6767]

Yes, that would make an infused oil. Can be used for flavoring food, adding to medicinal salves. Tictures on alcohol are a totally different thing.

[@lindapeters5497]

@@lulishomestead6767 thank you. Some people are saying to take a teaspoon a day of oregano oil. This is why I was confused 😕

[@ElizabethLopez-zk9ud]

That was strange, you showed us how to make a tincture ,but you didn’t tell us how to use it. I have no idea if this is to be put on your skin or to be swallowed, You mentioned using a dropper but you didn’t mention what to put the drops into or onto.

[@lulishomestead6767]

Tinctures are taken internally. Some people like to take it straight under the tongue and swallow and others like to mix into a little water. Always start a little and then increase. Tinctures are home remedies and there is no particular “dose”. Some people take a dropper full and increase to two droppers.
