This was a fantastic webinar. So much great info – as always! My brain does not absorb very well after 6PM so I watched the recording. Thank you so much for all you do! I’ve learned so much from the school and love that you keep adding and updating content.

Thank you for doing these and all the new content coming!
Would you consider doing the live streams on a platform that doesn’t require signing in to Google to comment? I may be the only one who refuses to use Google and if so, that’s fine, I’ll just listen and enjoy. 🙂

mine wanted me to sign into youtube which I didn’t do so I could not participate in the discussion.

Yes, same for me.
Webinarjam seems to be a great platform and they even have a section for Q&A separate from the chats, so the host doesn’t have to wade through the chats in order answer questions. Just throwing that out there! 😀

Hi Doc
it was great to see your daughter she is so lovely and has your humor and gift of herbs. I ask about the dual extraction and I was referring to more of like an extraction of the mushrooms like Chaga and lions mane where I’ve read you should extract in the alcohol remove them from the alcohol and then put them in water and then extract in warm water, bring them to boil reduce them bring them to a boil reduce them, then add some of that water to the alcohol tincture And I just wondered if that was necessary to extract everything from the mushroom. I use 100 proof vodka and would think it would pull out the water soluble and the alcohol soluble properties but I don’t know that’s why I’m here to learn more…lol

When I get that pesky message, I just reload the page (once, twice, or maybe three times) and then it usually loads the page normally without that message. Hope this helps!

Helen – from my research into the mushroom world, the water is not just water like in vodka – but HOT water to break the chitin that is “protecting” all those lovely nutrients. I think that unless you’re going to make a tincture, then getting the dried mushroom EXTRACT that is already powdered and have been dual extracted. If you’re going for a tincture, the process is lengthy, but not hard to do yourself. Hope this helps.

Hi, I found the volume to be quite low on this webinar. It’s very low and hard to hear – so much so that until I can hook up a speaker to boost the volume, I had to just turned it off. 🙁
-
At about 3:20 we actually start the webinar and the sound is fine on my computer. It’s all mumbly mumbo jumbo before that.
Also, That film is just a rough and the editing team will be gussying it up shortly.

I had the same issue. I hooked a speaker up and had no trouble after that.

I understand that herbs should be tinctured as soon as possible for long shelf life. My question is when making creams and lotions how should the tinctures be used? Since I won’t be infusing herbs in oil, I assume I would add the tincture to the melted oil/beeswax at the same time I add my herbal infusion (aka tea). How much tincture should I use? Is 3ml sufficient for one cup of oil? Would 4 be better? Is there a minimum or maximum recommended amount? Thanks

TIncturing sooner doesn’t affect shelf life, if affects the quality of the plant you’re tincturing. With topical applications, dosing becomes much less critical. I think 3-5 cc of tincture per cup of lotion is a good place to start. If you want to add more you certainly can. As I said, topical applications are really dose dependent. You aren’t going to over dose with a lotion. It has more to do with consistency of the product and expense than with getting the correct dosage.

Hello, I was not able to attend the live webinar. I tried clicking on your web address in the first post of this thread, but I only found a white box and no video. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Can I tincture dried fruit? I have dried bilberries that I’d like to tincture.
-
Yup. Dry bilberries are fine to tincture for their medicinal properties. The leaf is good too (for different things).
