Selma -

When the Japanese Knotweed capsules are so inexpensive, why would you

risk making a tincture? You can get 120 caps for under $20 from Source

The best parts to be used are rhizome and root. Buhner in his book

recommends tablets, powder or decoction. The best form from own

knotweet is the decoction - in Buhner's book is the recipe: 1 ounce of

knotweet + 1 quart of water boiled 20 minutes / per day.

I use own knotweet too, rhisomes should be sinked in late autumn or

early spring - here in Europe now it's the best time to do it. I

sinked 1 week ago and there were a lot of them.

I made the tinctute too and tried it, but decoction is better tolerable.
