Considering huge variety recipes, choose for alcohol tincture best recipes very difficult. Therefore, first you need to decide what is included in the concept of “best” tinctures. For some people, the “best” are tinctures with exceptional taste, without taking into account the consequences. For others, these are those, after even excessive intake of which there are no headaches or other “consequences”. For still others, the decisive factor is the medicinal properties of the tincture (in this case, of course, their use is not intended for “excessive” intake, and even taste qualities- the requirement is insignificant).
1
First of all, it should be noted that none of the alcohol tinctures will be beneficial to health if consumed as a “table” drink. Healing properties alcohol tinctures appear when consumed drop by drop (maximum 30-100 g per day and strictly according to the recipe). IN large quantities about no medicinal properties there is no talk.
The “hangover” properties of tinctures (no headache, dry mouth, etc.) are often very individual and depend on many factors:
- state of the body at the time of administration;
- snack quality;
- emotional condition;
- the degree of ventilation of the room during sleep;
- individual reaction of the body to the ingredients of the tincture.
In addition, many alcohol-based tinctures are not intended for oral administration at all and are used exclusively externally, for rubbing and compresses.
Alcohol tinctures
Alcohol, as a rule, allows the ingredients of the tincture to be better absorbed. In addition, alcohol tinctures have a “warming” effect, both when taken orally and when used externally.
Therefore, for external use, the tincture should not be used unless local heating is required. The “cooling” effect is temporary (associated with the very rapid evaporation of the alcohol solution from the surface of the skin), followed by heating.
At domestic consumption Tinctures of dissolved alcohol allow you to retain additional moisture in the body. Therefore, if edema and kidney disease have already occurred, the use of alcohol tinctures is not recommended.
It is important to know!

Any alcohol tincture should be stored in glass, in a dry, cool, always dark place (can be in the refrigerator). In the light, even at low temperatures, a very rapid breakdown of molecules occurs and the formation of new substances that are not typical for tincture. As a rule, the shelf life of alcohol tinctures, unlike decoctions and infusions without the use of alcohol, is very long: 3-4 years (some resources indicate that it is “unlimited,” but, as you know, nothing lasts forever).

Before making a tincture from alcohol, you should collect necessary ingredients and prepare them. The phrase “Who cares when to collect them! Roots are roots, and leaves are leaves, whether in spring or autumn” is absolutely wrong. “Every berry has its own time,” they said in the old days. And this applies not only to berries. IN different time of the year chemical composition leaves, roots and other parts of the plant are different (even if the chemical elements are the same, their percentages are significantly different).
Leaves should be collected just before flowering. When the leaves are collected, the petioles are cut off as there is nothing useful in them.

First, the bark should be slightly peeled off and left to dry for 1-2 days. Then remove, dry, and chop. Please note that branches (or seedlings) after such an operation are not residents! You cannot “kill” a tree, so only some branches are used, which will then be cut down.

Flower stalks are removed.
Fruits and seeds are collected early in the morning or late in the evening, in damp weather. Fruits (especially juicy ones) must be dried immediately before they become wrinkled. Roots can be collected in any weather. But the collection period is important: autumn or late August (at the end of the growing season). For biennial and perennial plants - autumn of the 2nd or 3rd year.

The buds should be dried in a cool, dry place, also out of direct sunlight. The place must be cool, otherwise there is a risk that the buds will bloom.
