STS Cold and Floo – Recommended Tincture Bundle

These are the Tinctures Recommended by Doc Jones, from the class on The School of Traditional Skills!

BUILD-A-FORMULA!

This is a HomeGrown Herbalist Composite Formula, giving you the chance to customize the parts to your preferences. Select what you want, and we’ll ship those tinctures to you!

Echinacea Root Tincture

Echinacea is a useful herbal helper. It is best able to do this when coupled with a catalyst herb like ginger, peppermint, or cayenne.

Garlic Tincture

Garlic is known and used world-wide as a culinary spice and as a medicine. Eating uncooked or fermented garlic is said to have many benefits. If you like to be alone, eat enough Garlic and others will avoid you and your smell!

Brigham Tea Tincture

HomeGrown Herbalist Brigham Tea, also known as mormon tea

Nettle Leaf Tincture

Nettle leaf, like all parts of the nettle is highly nutritious. Some say the leaves are akin to spinach when cooked. There is some argument as to whether simply drying the leaves and stems is enough to remove their sting. Some say the only way to remove the sting is to cook or crush them. Whatever the case, wear gloves when working with nettle.

Grape Leaf Tincture

We all know Grape leaves from Greek dolmathes. They are widely used in cooking to wrap other foods for cooking. They host a range of alternative benefits as well!

Cayenne Tincture

Many people find Cayenne too hot to handle in food. So, it's interesting that many of the medicinal uses of Cayenne are for soothing.

Gumweed Tincture

When you hear the name Gumweed for the first time, you might wonder how it got that name. If you break off a couple of flower buds, pop them in your mouth and start chewing, you'll know how.

Elecampane Tincture

Elecampane has a long history as an Herbal Treatment. Helen of Troy was said to have carried Elecampane flowers when she was taken from Sparta.

Wild Cherry Bark Tincture

If your throat is barking, try a tea made with Wild Cherry Bark. It will soothe your throat and help you stop feeling like a dog.

Mullein Leaf Tincture

The hairy Mullein leaf has many uses despite its silvery-grey appearance. The leaves, root, and flower all have good uses both internally and externally.

Elderberry Tincture

Elderberry trees give a lot of themselves. The flowers and leaves can be used in teas and poultices both internally and externally. The berries have been used medicinally and as a source for preserves, jams, wines, and cordials. Listen to your elders and take some Elderberries during times of cold!

Sweet Wormwood Tincture -Artemisia annua

Sweet Wormwood was used traditionally for intestinal worms, respiratory infections, cancer and inflammation.*

Pine Needle Tincture

White Willow Bark Tincture

Willow bark, also known as aspirin on a stick, is very useful in Herbal Medicine because of its high salicin content. You can use preparations made from the bark both internally and externally.

Yarrow Arial Parts Tincture

Yarrow's fine, delicate form belies its power as a medicinal herb. From the fine leaves and tiny flowers to the roots.

Tincture bundle for the STS Cold and Flu class:

Echinacea, Garlic, Brigham Tea, Nettle leaf, Grape Leaf, Cayenne, Gumweed, Elecampane, Wild Cherry Bark, Mullein Leaf, Elderberry, Sweet Wormwood, Pine Needles, White Willow bark, Yarrow

(Note, the only difference is the meadowsweet, which we’ve replaced with white willow bark)

How to Take Herbs - Product Forms and Suggested Servings

Product Forms

Most HomeGrown Herbalist products are sold in three forms: powders, tinctures and capsules. People often ask which form is best. The truth is, it matters very little how we get herbs into our body but there are some advantages to each form.

Powders: Powders are the least expensive form. Powders can be made into teas or tinctures or you can just put the powder into a little juice or water and drink it.

Tinctures: Tinctures are alcohol extracts of herbs. They act a little more quickly in the body and are very portable. Tinctures can be taken alone or mixed with a little juice or water.

Capsules: Capsules are my least favorite form personally. I believe that many herbs are more effective if capsules aren't used. Click here to read a blog article on Capsules

Any of the above forms can be mixed with your morning smoothie or with yogurt, apple sauce etc... Tinctures mix really well with these products: Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil. This is a great way to get tinctures into those who are sensitive to yucky herb flavors.

Recommended Servings for Humans

For chronic or maintenance issues, twice daily is usually sufficient. For acute situations, dosing can be done more frequently.

Herbs and Adults

Powders for Adults: 1-2 rounded teaspoons 2-3 times daily.
Tinctures for Adults: 1/4 to 1 teaspoon 2-3 times daily.
Capsules for Adults: 4 capsules 2-3 times daily.

Herbs and Children

Don't use herbs in children without consulting a physician. When I do use herbs for children, I dose them based on weight compared to an adult...1/2 an adult...1/3 of an adult etc...

Herbs and Pets

All of our formulas were created so that they could be used in either humans or in dogs, cats and livestock. Most dogs will eat herbs willingly if the powdered form is mixed with a little wet food. Tinctures can also be used. Cats are often very resistant to taking herbs willingly. For chronic or maintenance issues, twice daily is usually sufficient. For acute situations, dosing can be done more frequently.

10-20 Pounds: 1/4 teaspoon twice daily

The HomeGrown Approach - What Makes us Different?

Many of our Herbal Products are created with herbs that are grown right here! Of course there are many plants that are outside the scope of our ability to grow in Idaho, due to either climate or quantity requirements. So when we need to supplement our growing efforts, we purchase only the finest product from quality, growers that we trust! All of our Single Herb Tinctures are made right here at our own facility with a single plant.

Our plants are grown, weeded, harvested and processed by caring herbalists filled with healing intent, not by machines. HomeGrown plant harvesting is timed for maximum potency...not the day the combine is scheduled. - Only the most medicinal portions of the HomeGrown plants are utilized for medicine making. - No pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers of any kind are used in our herb gardens. HomeGrown wildcrafted herbs are ethically collected and identified by experienced herbalists, not minimum-wage, apathetic employees.

Yeah, we might be crazy to go to all the trouble when we could import material from Bulgaria for a tenth of the price, but we have experienced the difference in the quality of the end product. We are confident that when you use our HomeGrown herbals, you WILL see what all the fuss was about!
