Measured Medicine; Tincture Making with Greta Dietrich

[@jamiereife5581]

God bless you for sharing with us and bless those like you who have the heart of a teacher ❤

[@dah8789]

I have to admit I was disappointed that I wasn't recognizing younger people in the room listening to her lesson. Wouldn't they be the important age to show interest so as to carry the knowledge on? I would like to add, I'm glad to see a young lecturer teaching this art.

I am 18 and I love herbal medicine it is healing mom my mom used to have to take pain medicine, insulin medication. But natural medicine healed my mom

[@travv88]

It could be that these older people have more health problems and thus are searching for solutions?

We’re getting there. More and more of my generation (born early 80s) are starting to get into these imperative practices

[@joon148B]

@@ChriseldaPhoenix the boomers allowed things like massive consumerism, reliance on big pharma, and the loss of important information. Let’s not forget which generation ruined which. However we must work together to heal our folk.

Finding this at 3:33 here.. I’m being guided onto my healing/spiritual path, thank you so much dear! 💜🙏💜

[@elioraimmanuel]

I love making tinctures and salves. I have been doing this for nearly 20 years!

[@thisorthat7626]

@elioraimmanuel, do you have any recommendations for books or videos to watch on the subject? Thank you.

[@blookieblay]

Excellent presentation. I am an herbalist and I love to hear how different herbalist make their tinctures….never can lean enough…so fascinating.

I make tinctures. A few that probably saved my life! Great to find this channel!

[@111Lky]

This is an excellent presentation! Thank you for being so thorough

[@marilynroberts6644]

Sadly I haven't developed a taste for nettle but never thought of a tincture. Thank you for the suggestion.

This was fascinating Greta, great job! Thank you for the introduction to Apothecary!

We need more of this

If you had online courses, I would take from you. Just everything about you I enjoyed. Happy to learn more and more etc. Southern Alberta cANADA

Hi Studio , if ever .. as you are in Canada , you can look at Wild Rose College (AB ). they are amazing. the owner's son is the owner of Harmonic Arts, they have organic herbs in BC. Enjoy your journey in Herbalism !! Johanne, Quebec

[@abimbolatevi8533]

Highly impressive! Keep up the great work

[@What2B]

👏 Thank you Ms Greta 💝

[@issuesthatmatter2825]

This is one of the most amazing videos I have seen. Do you do online classes? Do you travel to Wisconsin by chance for speaking events? Preppers would love your education

[@carrieharvey1120]

Great lecture! FYI Nevada sells inexpensive Everclear 95% proof in my local grocery store. I was surprised to find it so easily (I’m using it for propolis tinctures).

[@nelliesfarm8473]

I make a big pot of nettle tea on the stove and let steep...drink some and use the rest for fertilizer for my fav plants in the garden

[@Sarairose]

I do that as well. It’s actually a great fertilizer👍

[@latoyamatson6197]

It's amazing. Back in the olden times they'd have used her medicinal herbs for everything and still hung her as a witch. It don't feel like it sometimes but we've come far. Let's pray we don't go back.

[@inbedduringcovid3005]

Love this. I'm not sure, but I think it also helps when people like others comments as well. I never knew it mattered that much to see engagement in the comment section til recently. I still don't know much about it but I been hearing from other pages that it does matter to comment just like it matters to like. So what I've started is liking others comments more as well just in case that makes a difference. 👍 can never have to many likes. I just hope my name don't go down your notification that many times lol.

[@efaure2008]

Is there a link for the "handout" she mentioned in the video of sourceing the Ethanol and everything else listed on the handout? Can anyone share it? Thanks in advance...

[@elizabethpendleton3421]

Greta is amazing, thank you for educating us in such great detail! Would love to know how to contact her botanicals?

[@eric123426]

Can we get some info on “charging” tinctures? Like removing the spent herb from the alcohol after extraction and adding more. Does this increase the potency like I think it will?

[@inbedduringcovid3005]

I heard that it does when watching a clover video about it. That has made me want to see if its any video proving they tested a batch that went once with a batch that went 3 rounds. That would be pretty potent. My goal is to use freeze dryer to reduce things down the most but I forgot about multiple rounds to do as well. After taking the used ones out i would still put them in a fresh batch just to see what comes out each time. 👍

[@GDESS7]

Yes, straining your tincture will increase potency. However, you must be very mindful of dose. Doing this with a low dose herb, meaning one in which high dose may be toxic I would not recommend. Herbs which are high dose, meaning you can take more, more often such as lemonbalm or nettles I would say it’s safe to do a dual extraction.

[@amandacreekmore891]

Hi Greta. Do you have your own KZbin channel or Facebook? I loved watching you. I have just started trying to learn about all of this and enjoyed your teaching.

[@yoopermann7942]

thank you for the info, now i have a little better under standing on how to do this

[@inbedduringcovid3005]

I started again making fruit vinegar. Let fruit sit in apple cider vinegar and when cold its like a juice. Eventually I will start back doing it from adding sugar to fruit yeast water but I could never tell when it was done since I kept feeding it lol. So still practicing. Using apple cider vinegar at least lets me know its already useable. Been trying to get vodka or something to put my vanilla beans in but people think since I'm bedridden im going to drink it lol. But I love the idea of making tinctures because my granny had a big jar of one that wasn't for children. But once she pulled it out for me to take a spoon of it. It had orange slices in and honey I think because it was thick and sweet. I think it was called repel. I didn't get the chance to ask why that moment was decided to give to me. Maybe something was spreading. I was a little sick that day but when I saw that I forgot all about it.

[@PrairieJournals]

Just wanted to add to your apple cider vinegar, I did bottles of pear cider vinegar that I'm sure is now wine lol. Use it as salad dressing. Sorry you got the "c", hope all is well now.

[@nancyobrien2854]

@@PrairieJournals that's an interesting statement. Just got into home brewing wine. My understanding is you have to be careful not to get oxygen in your wine when racking/bottling or you run the risk of turning your wine into vinegar. they say the higher the percentage of alcohol the less likely it will happen.

[@RK-su4hs]

Great lesson. Thank you Question If I distilled a tincture (not for Essential oils) will the resulting distilled fluid retain the therapeutic benefits of the plants used in the tincture?

[@jeepdriver7603]

Firstly, thank you for making the video. I think the gentleman's concern about using vodka made from GMO grain is misplaced. Even if the grain is a GMO, it isn't being consumed. The enzymes in the grain convert the starch to sugar, and yeast consume the sugar producing carbon dioxide and alcohol. All of the material is filtered out and then the alcohol is distilled. I don't see how any aspect of the grain (GMO or not) remains in the final product. If I am wrong, please correct me.

[@slapurmom5667]

Still a great video. Great place to start.

[@garyreneker6226]

One early question was whether you can leave herbs in jar after the 6 weeks "brewing" period.. Yes, BUT ... The herbs should Always be covered by the liquid.. Otherwise they may develop mold where they are touched by oxygen.. If that ever happens you should discard the entire jar, re-sterilize it and start a new batch.

[@nicolaverma3729]

Thank you :this is good advice for when i start my herbal medicine course:very informative 👍: ive had a calling to be a Shaman and this is one area of my work to be xx

I am wondering if I can use freeze dried lions mane mushrooms? I freeze dried them a few months ago. I didn't have time to work with them so I freeze dried for preservation. Thank you for your help

[@santicruz4012]

Could I add lets' say 100mL of a 96% Etthanol tincture to a mason jar with 100mL of glycerine or propilenglycol? I dont know if the ethanol will react but the idea is to have the high concentration solute to a more pallatable medium.

I would really like to take a class as well from you. Do you have online classes or a weekend class so that we could come to you? Thank you

[@dovelady3am815]

I tried drying my herbs before adding it to alcohol. Does that dilute the properties?

[@GDESS7]

This is a great question. I prefer working with fresh herb for reasons of vitality. However, drying the herb can actually make a tincture stronger because, the water has evaporated from the plant and you are essentially adding more of the plant, making it more concentrated. A couple of things to consider. Does my medicine need to be stronger? If not use fresh. Fresh is safest because it has water weight and dilutes alcohol. Also, If it is a low dose botanical, meaning a plant you only use a small amount of sometimes, making it stronger may not matter, nor be advised.

Please stop saying "um" so much. It takes away from what you're teaching. As a person who deals with people all the time, I also had to learn to do the same.
