Suggested Use:

• Make a tincture/herbal extract by mixing 1 part dry herb to 4 parts alcohol (80 proof vodka NOT rubbing alcohol).  Shake every day for 6 weeks, strain and store in an amber glass bottle in the dark.  Take 6-15 drops 2 times a day for the above health reasons.

• Make an oil by mixing one part dried powder to 4 parts Extra Virgin olive oil.  You can either follow the directions of the tincture above but replace the alcohol with olive oil or make a double boiler on the stove by placing a pan with water on the stove with water in it and a glass container, preferably a glass measuring cup with a spout inside the pan of water.   Fill the glass container with the herb and cover with oil. Let the herb sit in the oil, stir over medium heat for 2 hours, strain and put in an amber bottle and store in a dark place.
