Rosemary Gladstar — How to Make an Echinacea Tincture

There are many good questions in the comments. Some I had as well. I wish she would answer them. I never understood why people make videos then ignore the people who watch and ask questions.

I made my first echinacea tincture last year after receiving your book. I’ve been very impressed with the results. Last winter I felt like I was coming down ill three different times. As soon as I started feeling yucky I took this tincture as recommended and I never got sick. I’m making a much larger batch this year so I can share with family and friends.

my new favorite old hippy lady yes! i am doing this

oooh, love that pale green tea cup

I'm so happy I found this! I've been studying herbs with her book and such :) I really feel at peace researching herbs!

Great book!  I read it cover to cover and now I am picking out what I want to grow!

Thanks Rosemary! I have your books and I'm a huge fan. You are such a wealth of knowledge. I know many of us appreciate how you share that knowledge, too! You are a real asset to your profession!

I love Rosemary! One note, I think it should have been mentioned that if using vinegar one cannot use a metal lid on jar or the lid will corrode. <3

Love Rosemary. Her books are so informative and an excellent guide to good medicine.

I just ordered this book and several other of Rosemary's books. I can't wait to get them!!! I have a sensitivity to many medications that my doctor tries to give me. This natural route is good for me and has been working fine for me with no problems so far. I have so much to learn! :-)

A wonderful, informative video. I am planting my first echinacea this year, but two ginormous elderberry bushes/trees planted 12 years back. Looking forward to making medicine with your guidance. Have a great harvest, Rosemary!

Echinacea clears up pink eye very quickly, I used to have the recipe for that I no longer remember what it was. I did use sterilized water with it, poured in my eyes and they cleared up in less then 3 days.

how helpful thank you

very important information and learning

Hi. I LOVE your videos and site! I am very happy to have found your site. I ordered your book too and can't wait to read it and try the recipes! I was wondering if you had a video or any information you could share on using borage plant grown at home for medicinal purposes. I am a little confused between borage oil and a borage tincture you can make from your own plant at home. What is the difference between them as far as medicinal purposes; can both be used topically, for skin and hair treatments, for example, or one is taken internally? I haven't been able to find a really good explanation nor recipes on how to make them, and then use them alone or adding them to other things to use on one's hair or skin. I would greatly appreciate any information you could share, and if you have any videos on the subject as well. Thank you! God bless.

Need to plant some flowers now :)

Oh my, I looked up echinacea, this is funny, I am reading your book right now. I just started to read about echinacea and wanted to see what I could find on YouTube.

Thank you 💕

I see so many people stressing out about making tinctures where they literally weigh everything. I wonder how our grandparents made theirs without an electronic kitchen scale or measuring cups.Of course,eyeballing it (common sense).Also, many are using really high proof alcohol, which in my opinion is pure poison.Where I come from,nobody had such high proof alcohol, as most people were making their homemade alcohol, which was more like 30 to 35%.

Do u have video of u crushing up the flower parts? The spikey part has me intimidated
