If you would like to make your own tincture here are the steps to follow.
1) Harvest the plant – never taking more than 5-10%. Chop the plant as finely as you can to ensure there is maximum surface area for extraction.
2) Place the chopped herb (which could be flowers, leaves, seeds, roots or bark) into a clean jam jar and cover with alcohol such as vodka. Make sure it is 40% proof (for Europe) or 80 – 100% proof in US. Give it a stir to remove any bubbles.
3) Keep the tincture for 6 weeks minimum and then strain out the plant material. Place the tincture into a brown bottle or into a bottle with a brown paper around it. That is it!! Use when needed – approximately 1/2 to 1 Tsp per dose.

Thanks for watching! xx

    Dandelions are popping up everywhere on my property right now. Should I wait for them to flower before harvesting?

    Most people think of Dandelions as a Wine. I learned very young, being part Native Indian, as an edible and medicinal cure. Indian tribes drank tea made of dandelion leaves for its tonic properties, Kiowa Indian women added the flower to the tea to relieve Menstrual pain. the common Grass in lawns grasslands open areas is the, "Taraxacum officinale", seen March to around September. Dandelion Roots ( young ones )after peeling we did of the outer skin, Boiling,for a few minutes, then sprinkling some sea salt, and butter Rich in Vitamins A and C, but did not know much about the Liver and Kidneys There were other ways of preserving them also.

    I brush the roots, chop them up v small and dry them in a dehydrator, then in mortar and pestle to have a nice coarse powder and keep dry for up to 2 yrs.

    In Greece the farmers sell big bunches of dandelion leaves on their stalls. You can also eat them as a starter – it is called Horta.

    We love to batter and fry the dandelion flowers in the same manner that we would morel mushrooms. (Indiana,USA)
    They have a similar taste but morels are better. I find it good to fry the battered flowers up in coconut oil.
    The roasted dandelion roots make a nice replacement for coffee or tea. I sometimes put dairy free flavored creamer in it.
    Thank you for the video. I am enjoying it very much 😊
