TINCTURES
Why use a tincture? A tincture makes all the properties of the herb more readily available to our bodies. And because most people's digestive tracts are coated with such debris, absorption of the needed nutrients is incomplete, at best. A tincture can bypass the barriers and go right to work. Why alcohol as the menstruum? Nothing else will dissolve/suspend the oily, waxy, detergent, enzymatic and hormonal compounds of the herbs. And the use of alcohol makes refrigeration unnecessary, as when glycerine is used instead. Why High-Octane Alcohol (not vodka, brandy, or wine)? It lacks flavor, color, and odor and has the least amount of water. A little water is necessary in the making of tincture, as some constituents are water soluble alone; this way you get ALL that the herb has to offer. Neutral grain spirits like EverClear (a brand many know) come in 151-proof (75.5% alcohol / 24.5% water) and 190-proof (95.6% alcohol / 4.4% water). But EverClear is made from non-organic grain, so I have been using 190- 200 proof non-gmo or organic spirits since 2016. (Brand, strength, organic vs just non-gmo depends on what is available, as brands and supply have been less than stable. I go for organic when possible.) Cayenne / Garlic

Frank's Toothache Tincture
In 1999 Frank offered me a dropper full of "the stuff" he made when I felt a cold coming on. I never got that cold, and I refused to be without a bottle of the tincture afterward...always pestering Frank to make more.... Eventually my enthusiasm for, belief in, and promotion of his tincture led him to disclose the The Stuff's contents to me. I made a few suggestions and we worked together to better the blend...then Frank generously gave his permission for me to make it available to everyone.
