thank you for this video! i have recently quit drinking alcohol (problem drinker), and i have been searching for a way to make liniments and tinctures without having to expose myself to anything that may tempt me to take a drink. i do understand these are for topical use only, because rubbing alcohol cannot be ingested safely. is there something you could suggest to use in place of alcohol for making tinctures, that would be safe for internal use?
I have always been under the impression that we could not ingest witch hazel but someone told me recently that isnt true but I dont know yet. I do know that you can make apple cider vinegar herbal tintures that can be ingested tho. The apple cider ones dont last a long time like the alcohol ones do but it still works.
This is a good example of making linaments. I would only add that I put a litle more info on my labels i.e. where the herbs were obtained, where the linament was made, latin names of herbs, what it can be used for. I would also mix the herbs prior to putting them in the jar.
Is there a way to convert these measurements to volume instead of by weight? I don't have a scale of any kind.

vinegars (apple cider, rice,) make great liniments. No need to use alcohol, even on skin.

Is there a maximum amount that Cayenne pepper should not exceed? I noticed that there is very little of the cayenne being used.

Thank you for your video. I use everclear to make lotion and was wondering if I would be able to incorporate this liniment into my lotion recipe.

Good video, but would like to know how to properly clean fresh roots so as not to destroy properties, and should they be chopped?

One should never use rubbing alcohol. Grain alcohol is fine. :-) Thanks again.

Can I use this with a massage oil for sore muscles or would I apply this before massaging with oil?

You can make herbal glycerites with vegetable glycerin or herbal vinegars in place of alcohol extracts. Thanks for your question!
