Re: de-alcholizing tincture question

[Guest guest]

Well, you don't take a tincture just as it comes out of the bottle first of all.

You MIX IT with water OR juice. I mix my half dropper full of each tincture

into one half glass of water and one half glass of juice. It tastes great no

matter what the tincture itself tastes like.

Are you allergic to alcohol? If not don't get rid of it. IF you are you can

put it in to hot water and let cool for about 15 to 20 minutes and that should

evaporate most of the alcohol.

will affect the strength of the herb? I know that sometimes things

have to be in raw form in order to keep potency.

Heidi,

If the taste is the problem rather than the alcohol, the suggestions

for using it with something else (juice, chocolate, etc) might help.

For me, the issue is that I'm allergic to alcohol so I pour hot water

over it and let it sit a few minutes. That does not eliminate the

taste.

I hope you will share your experiences with cryptolepsis. I have

tried it 3 times and it knocked me on my butt!! I started with a few

drops, rather than the teaspoon Buhner recommends. I will try again

as I get stronger in the spring/summer. I'm very interested in

others' experiences with cryptolepsis; how long taken, side effects,

how it worked for you, and any other experiences.

Best wishes with it, jo
