I am wondering why you have made an internal tincture with a plant that is used topically? Jewel weed works on the skin, made in a salve or an oil. It has no use taken internally as a tincture. Othrwise your video is good, just use 100 proof vodka, no need to add water...that was an interesting suggestion by the author of that book...Green Blessings

Why do some people say 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, or even 12 weeks?
How do we know how long?
I'm making stephania root, red root, and eleutherococcus?
I was going to let them sit for 4 weeks

@ListeningWhispers I don't believe I said it was for internal use. I only use my Jewelweed tincture in my soaps, salves and sprays.

If we are under 18 can we drink tinctures? If not is there a substitute we can use for the alcohol?

@LOKKAWAII , this video is intended to show someone how to make a tincture for their own home use, not to be sold. If want to make a tincture without alcohol you would use cider vinegar but the tincture will not have as long of a shelf-life as the alcohol tinctures do. Hope this answers your question.
