Rosemary Gladstar — How to Make an Echinacea Tincture

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

oooh, love that pale green tea cup

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

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! :-)

very important information and learning

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!

how helpful thank you

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.

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.

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 💕

Need to plant some flowers now :)

Is there a best-source for the brown/blue bottles and droppers?

Hi, My question is what kind of Echinacea root should I use? The herb website I am on has the Ausgust. and the Purpurea. Thank you.
