==============================

Wild yam can be done in ACV. Obviously, alcohol will do a much better

job as it is a root. However, you can also make a tea out of it or an

extract without using the alcohol. Tincturing will take normally two

weeks minimum. Better if allowed to sit longer. I would think that an

extract might be better than an ACV tincture and will not take as long

to make.

Use whatever horseradish you can get. Regular is fine if you can't find

organic. I believe you could use dried but I think some of the benefits

will not be there due to loss of certain constituents through the

dehydration process.

If you can't get organic use the regular fresh horseradish.. scrub/wash it good.

Hi ,

Sorry but I seem to be getting a tad behind in my emails.

You can steep the wild yam in alcohol for two weeks or so and then add

it to water and simmer for a 1/2 hour. This should drive off most the

alcohol. Then just add some glycerine to preserve it. Or.... Just simmer

in water for 1/2 hour and then reduce by half, cool and add your glycerine.

Hi ,

You betcha. I would thin it though for a tea as it will be quite

concentrated.

Hi ,

Three cups of tea per day is sufficient or 2 to 4 ml. of tincture.
