In this video I will show you how to make a safe and simple herbal ginger tincture and explain what a ginger tincture is good for. What is a tincture? A tincture is when you use 100 proof alcohol to extract the medicinal properties from any one particular herb. How do you use a tincture? Simply put ten to fifteen drops directly under your tongue or in a bit of juice or water. Why do you drop a tincture under your tongue? Well the membrane under your tongue is extremely thin and very absorbent this is one of the fastest ways to introduce the tincture to your blood stream. What are some of the benefits of ginger? ginger helps ease a stomach ache, nausea and increases blood circulation just to name a few! Is an alcohol based tincture safe to use while pregnant? Many herbalist will tell you YES the amount of alcohol ingested via 10/15 drops under your tongue is far less than the amount ingested when using an alcohol based mouth wash. What do I need to make a basic tincture? 100 proof alcohol, safe herb of your choosing, mason jar and patience. I practice wise woman traditions simple safe herbs for simple health, I will NEVER make a video with herbs that are not safe to use daily. *Please note I am not a doctor and no part of this video or my description should be mistaken as medical advice it is all opinion, always consult you family practitioner prior to adding an herbal supplement to you or your families diet.*
