Stephania tetrandra tincture

Dear Stephen,

I want to make a tincture from Stephania tetrandra (powdered) that was bought about 10 month ago. Can I use powdered herbs to make tinctures? What proportions in this case should be applied? Thank you in advance for reply.

 

Stephen’s response:

Yes, you can use powdered herbs. Use one part herb to 5 parts liquid. The liquid should be 65% alcohol and 35% water.

  • Stephen Harrod Buhner

    Stephen Harrod Buhner was an Earth poet and an award-winning author of twenty-four books on nature, indigenous cultures, the environment, and herbal medicine including the acclaimed book Healing Lyme: Natural Healing & Prevention of Lyme Borreliosis & Its Co-infections.

    Stephen came from a long line of healers including Leroy Burney, Surgeon General of the United States under Eisenhower and Kennedy, and Elizabeth Lusterheide, a midwife and herbalist who worked in rural Indiana in the early nineteenth century. The greatest influence on his work, however, was his great-grandfather C.G. Harrod who primarily used botanical medicines, also in rural Indiana, when he began his work as a physician in 1911.

    Stephen’s work has appeared or been profiled in publications throughout North America and Europe including Common Boundary, Apotheosis, Shaman’s Drum, The New York Times, CNN, and Good Morning America. Stephen lectured yearly throughout the United States on herbal medicine, the sacredness of plants, the intelligence of Nature, and the states of mind necessary for successful habitation of Earth.

    He was a tireless advocate for the reincorporation of the exploratory artist, independent scholar, amateur naturalist, and citizen scientist in American society – especially as a counterweight to the influence of corporate science and technology.

“This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.”

    Hi Stephen :been to dr. with negative tests (WB and PR) no rash sign but most debilitating symptoms since tick bite 8 months ago. I want to do this protocol as I am having very debilitating neuro symptoms. Should I still find a physician that treats with antibiotics then do the protocol or begin the protocol in conjunction with antibiotics or no anitbiotics as I fear taking excessive antibiotics. Thank you so much for giving me hope as I am at my wits end since my physician has told me lyme doesn’t exist in Georgia and just keeps ordering tests…..EXPENSIVE with negative findings. She will not prescribe any antibiotic since test negative. Please let me no your thoughts. Thank you from a most grateful heart. xo Amelia
