Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hi all, Has anyone had any sucess in tincturing Wisteria and Linden Blossom? I have tinctured both in sweet almond oil because it smelled terrible in alcohol...terrible! Would love to know because the flower has a beautiful scent and I would hope to tincture again next spring! Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Maggie I would dilute the tincture way down and split into different percentages. Say A 3%, 5%, 10% to start with, let it marry for a while and then do a small patch test on your skin leaving it on for at least 12 hours to see if any irritation develops (the ideal time is 24 hours). Start with the lowest one and work your way up. If you react early then that % is still way too strong so then its an exercise of diluting the dilution to make sure it is skin/allergy safe. With dilution the aroma could surprise you! Hope that helps Aroha Karolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
