Inula tincture dried or fresh?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Just wondering if any of you make your own Inula tincture??

If so have you harvested your own root and dried it? If so how did it compare to

a specific tincture??

Would love a bit of feedback! Thanks !

I make my own and it seems to work, but I haven't tried to compare it to anything else! J Fidler, MCPP, (RH) AHG

Hi

I make my own inula tincture using fresh root. It's very starchy and I've used

it both ways; leaving the starch in so you have quite a sludgy tincture, and

filtering it (I use paper coffee filters) to get a clearer tincture. The clear

one tastes 'brighter' if that makes any sense, and I think works better, but I

know people who prefer the sludgy one - up to you!
