I’ve watched a couple videos on using sweet gum balls to make a tincture, but yours has been the easiest to follow and by far the most informative. Well done! and thanks

Thank you. One of the reasons I started doing videos is because everything I would find was too complicated or too long! I don't need a 30 min video for 5 mins of instruction. 😝

Thank you for sharing this video! We live in Texas an hour northwest of Houston and have so many sweet gum trees I’ve always wanted to make this version of Tamiflu. So thank you and God bless!

I have a beautiful tree in my front yard and was hoping there was something for which I could use the pods. Good to know the usefulness of the whole tree!! Thank you for this video!!

Getting seeds out looks like a good job for the kids. 😃 A 3 year old could do this.

General rule of herbals is to cover. For sweet gum I put a bit more.

I couldn’t understand how long to let it set. Was that weeks or months to let it set?

I was advised to pick green gum balls, smash them abit and put them in vodka for 4/6 weeks, strain and store. Is this ok?

You should always collect green gumballs. Brown ones have already lost their seeds. Wait until your green (collected) gumballs turn brown. Place them in a paper bag and shake every day. Once they've turned you can smash them, if you want, and place all of it in vodka.

I am totally new to hearing about gum balls.. I picked up a few that are brown on the ground... are you saying I can make tea with them or do they still need to have seeds in them.

The seeds are the medicine. At this point in the season the seeds are gone.

If stored correctly (cool, dark) possibly up to 5 years.

Just wanted to double check. Sounds like the brown gum balls can also be used just wont have as many seeds.
@homesteadbychance7031
@homesteadbychance7031 Ай бұрын
Most of the seeds would be gone.

So crushing the green ones with a hammer and putting them in a jar with vodka, would that be just as strong?

Collect them green and then you have to wait until they turn brown. You can do that but I'm not sure about how strong it will be.

That’s exactly how I made mine, but I haven’t used it, yet. 😅 I thought green was stronger. It definitely looks easier to work with when it’s dry!

Thank you for the video! I'm new to natural medicine. Approximately how many teaspoons/tablespoons of seeds do I put into a half cup of vodka?
@homesteadbychance7031

Good information! How many drops would the dosage be for an adult? Thanks.
@homesteadbychance7031
@homesteadbychance7031 3 ай бұрын
Typical dosage for most tinctures is 1-3 droppers a day, 1-3 times a day. Just like any medicine it depends on the individual person, weight, etc.

How come you can’t just use a hammer to get the seeds out?
@homesteadbychance7031
@homesteadbychance7031 Жыл бұрын
That would certainly work! I don't want the bits in with my seeds. It changes your ratios. I do know of someone that carefully saws the pods in half.

Won’t the seeds from gum balls falling to the ground in fall work? It’s almost impossible to get green gum balls from our trees because the branches are too high up.

The seeds are too small to find on the ground.

They are green when you put them in the bag. If you get them when they are already brown the seeds have fallen out. They turn green to brown in the bag over time.
