The days are getting shorter and anxiety levels are still high for many due to the state of our world. Stress is a commonplace ailment and I have heard many say they haven’t slept well since this state of uncertainty unraveled itself. With that in mind a started whipping up extra batches of my calming tinctures I’ve been making for years for my family, friends and clients. It’s so easy to make, gentle, calming and extremely soothing for you.
Early in the morning I harvest from my herbal garden equal parts of chocolate mint (peppermint), spearmint...
& the same amount plus half more of lemon balm or verbena. (Please don’t mind those cute lil onions my hen helped to dig out lol)
Rinse your herbs by swirling them in cool water being careful not to crush them.
Remove them from the water and let dry a bit on a clean towel.
Layer your herbs into a sterilized glass jar. I then add two tablespoons of dried lavender along with my herbs.
Fill your jar up completely either with honey liqueur such as Baranjeger or 90 proof vodka as I did today and cap your jar.
Let your tincture infuse for a minimum of two weeks in a dark cool area. I personally prefer 4-6 weeks with this remedy. Once it’s ready, strain into glass amber apothecary bottles and add organic raw honey to taste.
Store in a cool area. These tinctures keep for around 10 years when preserved in alcohol.
I take a few drops of this tincture in my bedtime chamomile tea daily. It’s a great way to destress and wind down for the evening plus it helps keep my anxiety at bay naturally.
Please remember, although natural, this is a medicinal tincture and you should consult with your physician in case there’s a possibility of interfering with and medical condition or treatment. And please do not give to children without first consulting a medical professional. This is not intended to treat, prevent or cure any condition.
What remedies do you have brewing in your home apothecary or prepper pantry?
