Alcohol - Uncover Effective Ways To Use It When Dealing With Various Health Problems (Part 1)

Alcohol has been used for medical purposes throughout generations. Effective recipes involving alcohol managed to survive till nowadays and I am going to reveal them.

You can use either vodka containing 40% alcohol by volume or spirits containing 70% alcohol by volume to make home-made tinctures. Simply infuse the ingredients with the alcohol and fill a vessel (usually bottle) made of dark glass with the tincture. Cover the bottle up and leave the tincture to brew in a dark place for 3-22 days. Remember to shake it occasionally. Afterwards, decant the tincture and fill a bottle made of dark glass with it. Tincture retains its healing properties for 1-3 years if the storage conditions are met.

The doses mentioned in the recipes are intended for grown-ups. You should reduce the dose of the tincture by 3-5 times when giving it to children at the age of 1-3 years. When giving the tincture to children at the age of 3-7 years, reduce the dose by 2-3 times, but for children at the age of 7-14 years the dose should be twice as less as the dose for grown-ups.

You should definitely talk to a doctor before performing any healing procedure involving herbs to discuss the compatibility and possible interactions when using these natural remedies and prescription medicine simultaneously.
