          Most fresh plants are more beneficial than tinctured. They’re just more of a nuisance to use.

          Some folks do say that a tincture of fresh shepherd’s purse is more potent that a tincture of dry material. When I tincture the fresh shepherd’s purse, I prefer Everclear to vodka because the plant contains a lot of water that’s going to dilute the solvent.

          The dry herb tincture has always worked well for me.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
