Has anyone used these dried leaves to make a tincture? How did it come out?

I have distilled herbs in the past with 92% alcohol, I use the lemon balm to make tea.

I asked the company, they say NO only because the way it is mixed. take a butter knife or flat swrewdriver & pop off the top, it comes right off & goes right back on just push down on it...I mixed one TBLS Miracle Grow granular <blue> in the bottle with 16 oz. warm water & let it sit overnight to dissolve. I have no idea if 1 TBLS is adequate but better to have a weaker solution than burn up the plants....the company should make them refillable.

Sylvia, Go to herbwisdom.com search licorice root. There are many uses for this extract.

A tincture is an extract made from the plant itself. Unless you know how to make a tincture, I would not recommend getting the duck weed. It would be similar to buying a live pig because you want pork chops. Research "making a lemna tincture first and see if that's something that you could do yourself. :)

I have had experience only using the leaves, but from my knowledge, the root is often added to salves/extracts/ointments to give it a stronger potency.

No, but you can use food grade glycerin. You need the alcohol or glycerin to extract the herbs properties.

I bought this for making herbal extracts. Although the dried roots I press can be pretty hard, they've been soaked and am pressing out the liquid. I haven't tried for carrots or nuts, but I'm guessing it's not robust enough for that.

I have never made infusion water. However, I would think so. You can use dried leaves for infusing oils. I would study it on line a bit though.

For the absolute answer you would need to contact the manufacturer directly. Most companies are very willing to answer end user questions about the product. Quoting the comment on the can it reads: [This product] is a drying oil extracted from the seed of the flax plant. It is a natural product which contains no additives or driers and has a slow drying time (2-4 days). This slow drying characteristic allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the wood. [This product] is recommended for applications requiring a completely natural product....

These are finely diced, dried roots. It's not powdered. I use it to make tea :)

Never tried it, but I just re-applied to my fruit trees' new growth. This morning I found some of the leaves and new shoots with the dried liquid on it nibbled!! Darn, the deer here no longer mind it.

Hi Frank, I bought some of these berries and made extract and a tincture. They were of good quality. As the berries are in a semi dry state I imagine they will last for several weeks or even months.

It was my impression that it is simply harvested and ground up, it's not in tincture form. If you wanted to make a tincture, you could mix vodka with the ground root and let it set for a week or month.

Witch Hazel, like tea tree oil, comes from a tree, and you need (some) alcohol to draw the properties from the hard wood. I would worry more about the strength of those that do not have it.

Sorry, but I have yet to try it out. I am guessing, though, that it will work best on more woody-stemmed herbs such as thyme and rosemary, rather than soft-stemmed herbs like cilantro and parsley. My hope is that it will strip those tiny thyme leaves off the stem that are so tedious to pick off by hand.

I mixed it with neem oil, vodka, lavender and cedar wood oils. Works like a charm!

No, it doesn't work. The way I have dried them is to turn them inside out as much as possible. I haven't been able to turn them completely inside out but I make sure the finger openings are open and not crushed shut, and then I just leave them on the shelf to air dry.
