Making Elderberry Tincture | Learning is Half the Fun!

In this video, we're going to harvest some wild elderberries, and create a tincture. We're only using the berries, no stems, no leaves, no branches. This is import - see warning below. An elderberry tincture, is made by soaking the cleaned berries in alcohol - we used Vodka. You'll want to use an alcohol that is at least 40% by volume, but most people suggest 50% or higher. As the berries soak in the mixture, the alcohol will extra the beneficial chemicals from the berry. After a period of 6+ weeks, you then strain off all the solids and what you're left is an elderberry tincture. Most suggested online sources call for dosage of 1 tsp several times per day. You may dilute in water, to weaken the flavor - as it can be strong. As I suggested several times in this video, do your own research and make sure what you're doing is safe.

WARNING - Use, Create, Consume, at your own risk: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/... While elderberry has some promising potential benefits, there are also some dangers associated with its consumption. The bark, unripe berries and seeds contain small amounts substances known as lectins, which can cause stomach problems if too much is eaten . In addition, the elderberry plant contains substances called cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide in some circumstances. This is a toxin also found in apricot seeds and almonds. There are 3 mg of cyanide per 100 grams of fresh berries and 3–17 mg per 100 grams of fresh leaves. This is just 3% of the estimated fatal dose for a 130-pound (60-kg) person. However, commercial preparations and cooked berries do not contain cyanide, so there are no reports of fatalities from eating these. Symptoms of eating uncooked berries, leaves, bark or roots of the elderberry include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. There is one report of eight people falling ill after drinking the juice from freshly picked berries, including the leaves and branches, from the S. mexicana elder variety. They experienced nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, numbness and stupor. ____________________________ Want to show some Support for our Channel? Shop from this link to Amazon.
