Echinacea Purpurea Fresh Root Tincture

Your calm reaction to eating a bit of the root did not prepare me for what I experienced when I tried this myself with mine at home, haha! You mentioned a "buzzy" feeling, so I thought I knew what to expect, but when I had a VERY tiny piece, my whole mouth became numb! My husband (who is a doctor), and I both tried it at the same time when preparing my tincture, and we were both just absolutely stunned! It was one of the wildest things we've ever experienced!

This is the best video I have found on this subject. I just harvested around 20 Echinacea root crowns that I had been growing for 15yrs. I saw quite a bit of that black color through out the roots and was concerned until I found this video. Thank you so much!

I don't use the percentage of alcohol to herb because it doesn't have to be the same each time. I have read that it is more potent to do it that way but I don't think so. I use ground herb or ground root and add enough liquid to blend together and be able to freely manipulate in jar. I have your book, making plant medicine and thorough enjoy the storytelling, helps me to remember.

Thank You! I am having quite a learning tincture making and this is a great demonstration in the real methodology. It seems a lot of other herbalists are content to put the fresh herb in bottle and pour alcohol over to cover. I had never known about the measuring for each round, or using blender or about the addition of water (heard that would cause mold or dilute the final product. I have so much to learn lol! ) but am very happy to report good germination with all of the Strictly Medicinal Seeds I have planted so far this year. Thanks so much for teaching & sharing!!

Well hello there. I found your video. I watched your video , liked your video and subscribed. I also ordered your book. Now I will binge watch your videos and learn more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Teresa from texas♡

You must have made someone mad, they threw alot of rocks in your garden

Lol your wife and I would get along great .. I'm always trying to give my herbal concoctions away some people resist...their loss.😂 thank you for sharing.

Wonderful teaching, thank you!!!

Mine just finished blooming was so thankful for this information …I am wondering if the seeds from the blooms will come up next spring as I have a hard time taking roots because ..well I have attachment issues lol. Well 2 plus 1 is 3 so actually 333 how awesome.

Great insightful video. Thanks. Apologies in advance if you answered this question. What to do with the roots once tincture is extracted? Thanks again

Hi, can you please tell me what alcohol percent concentration do you recommend for dry root echinacea? I've read 60%, others say 70%. Thank you !

Would you the same ratio 1:2 (75% alcohol - 25% water ) for turmeric tincture?

... do you have plans, you could share, on how to make a screen table.... cause I want one... :))))

Richo, would this be an appropriate way to clean the thick tangly root mass of valerian root (for drying, not tincturing) as well? Or is there a better way to preserve all the volatile oils. My soil-admiration of your earth there is off the charts right now.

Thank you so much for the work you do Richo and thank you so much for sharing. The earth is blessed by your light ✨🙏🏼✨

Thank you strictly medicinal family for sharing this knowledge with the internet

Your soil is beautiful

Thank you Richo!😀🙏🤗🍃
