Tincture of Usnea (illuminated from the side to show light scattering by suspended polysaccharides). Usnea has broad spectrum immune supporting and antiinflammatory properties. I usually take it on a daily basis when i am working with a lot of people with viral illnesses, like at this time of the year. . . . This particular extract was made by adding the alcohol to the dry usnea, letting it get soaked up for a couple hours, and then adding boiling water and agitating it. The finished product is 5:1 and about 30% alcohol. After straining the liquid and squeezing/wringing out the solid part, there’s very little left behind. . . . Usnea is something you shouldn’t harvest unless you have a good understanding for the particular stand it is growing in and the ecology around it. It’s selective in its habitat in some parts of its range, and can be slow growing. Many gatherers just gather it from windfallen branches, but that is also an important winter food for deer in some places, so even that is not without potential impact. . . . #herbal #herbalmedicine #herbalist #tincture #medicinemaking #lichen #usnea #herbalextract https://www.instagram.com/p/B9GdzK1lIVf/?igshid=4pfy8tkly5ia

This week, i’m planning on making/setting up 400 liters of tinctures and other extracts, with herbs i have harvested over the recent months. . . . #herbalist #herbalmedicine #medicinemaking #extracts #herbal https://www.instagram.com/p/B6piHPfFyYc/?igshid=lcbvvbgma92v

Over the course of the last week, i made 100 gallons (almost 380 liters) of tinctures and herbal extracts, using plants i had harvested during the last four months. These are some of them, behind me. The apothecary feels nicely stocked at the moment. . . . . . . #herbalmedicine #medicinemaking #herbalist #lexingtonky #sharethelex #tincture #tonic #wildcrafting #organic

@tha_microphone_fiend mixin' up the medicine. This is a wintergreen and comfrey salve, another house specialty of the first aid tent. It is made by cooking comfrey leaves in oil, then removing them and adding beeswax and oil of wintergreen. I have used this remedy on so many pains and bruises and breaks and wounds, in so many climes and countries and continents and civil conflicts and clinical scenarios, over the course of my career, that it's like an old comrade. . . . #herbalmedicine #medicinemaking #bruises #abrasions #woundcare

This is Roan with his very special herbal box.  I made this up just for him and his Mom for a craft project.  He has all parts of a plant from root to seed....that includes leaf, flower, bark, root, and the seeds as I mentioned. Plus some olive oil so he can make an  oil infusion.  There is also some beeswax and cacao butter for experimentation in making a herbal salve. He is interested in the outdoors and plants AND his Mom and I use to work together so she can show him all about to take these plant parts and make an herbal oil.   I also added some St. John's Wort oil so he could see how the fresh flowers turn olive oil a bright red!!!  He seems to love it and I cannot wait to see what he whips up! #herbaloils ##herbinfusion #herbkid #herbalkits #medicinemaking #medicinewoods #moonmaidbotanicals https://www.instagram.com/p/CJlkYEghdcG/?igshid=10hkgjbwsrb6v
