Dandelion Whole Plant Tincture
This Dandelion plant tincture (Taraxacum officinale) was picked growing wild in our regenerative organic garden, which is surrounded by the never ending forests that envelope the entire farm, far far away from any human interference.
It is equal parts:
Root gathered in very early spring
Leaves gathered in mid spring
and Flower gathered in late spring
when the plant is directing its energy to those specific parts.
It was immediately tinctured for a minimum of six weeks in certified organic cane alcohol provided by the Organic Alcohol Co. out of Ashland Oregon, in glass, BPA free jars
I generally don’t like to speak on dosage and such as I’m not a licensed herbalist, more so farmer and forager. But there’s resources everywhere online. I find 7songs website is a good spot for information, I’ve attended some
of his lectures, he’s very science, empirical based.https://7song.com/resources/
