Ingredients

• Echinacea Leaves
• Echinacea Flowers
• Echinacea Roots
• 80 proof vodka

Directions

• This tincture is made throughout the growing season.
• Beginning in late spring/early summer, before the flowers blossom, place a handful of leaves in a mason jar and cover them completely with 80-proof vodka.
• Set it somewhere youll remember to give it a shaking every day.
• During the peak of summer when the flowers are in their prime (no browning), gather several and add them to the jar with the leaves.
• Continue shaking daily.
• After your last frost, but before the ground is frozen, dug up the roots of a 3+ year-old plant. Take just a branch or two of the root and rebury the plant.
• Clean the soil from off the roots and chop them into pieces.
• Add the chopped roots to the tincture, adding more vodka if necessary.
• Allow the tincture to sit, shaking daily, for about another month or two.
• Strain the plant parts from the tincture, composting the plants and reserving the tincture to use when youre feeling ill.
• Dosage: ¼-1/2 teaspoon every hour for adults during illness. Discontinue use when youre feeling better.
