Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 I always try to press on the full moon. Brings out the werewolf in me. Hehehe Hmm.... let me see now..what do I use to press with, well I guess that depends on what I am pressing. For this, because it is small, I will use a Slovenian potatoe squishing device which I believe is akin to a ricer. It is like a garlic press on steroids. Works really well but I have yet to get the max liquid out of it. I also have a miniture sized apple press, just like the big ones only this one went through the dryer. Shrunk it right up. But I haven't had occasion to use this yet as most of what I have right now is powdered and I don't think it will work too well in it. This press will work really well for pressing out the whole herbs though. Course if I could find a bottle jack and some steel I could weld me up a nice press as I already have the welder. So I guess for now that is all I have to press with other than my own two hands. Okay, what are you using to press with?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 My pressing method is somewhat more technically complex. I take an old cotton shirt and cut it up, pour my formula in the shirt (over a bowl) and squeeze the hell out of it... ..... fyi, I need to get something and I just wanted to know what you use...I need to do some reseach on these and then maybe I could find a used one somewhere.... -----Original Message----- From: Don Quai [mailto:mysticalherbalist@...] Sent: Thu 5/13/2004 1:44 PM health Cc: Subject: Re: Herbal mouthwash I always try to press on the full moon.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 LOL, I too have been there but I used a sock instead. Hehehe Hey it was new and unused at the time, 100% cotton. It worked moderately well.

What I was responding to was that if I were pouring herbs and alcohol through a fabric I'd want to be sure the fabric was unbleached and un-dyed clean- without laundry or cleanser residues. The tea shirt may or may not meet that criteria and it may have simply been the best option in a pinch. Cheesecloth works well and can be sewn into a bag that makes it easier. Are there any asian markets where you are? I have found some great devices there too. You just want a really fine mesh and untreated if possible- make sense? Whole Life Essentials.

Well whats wrong with it? Guess just colours in the fabric? I used a cotton tea towel once or twice and now I have some muslin cloth from the fabric shop, is this OK? This is only a little country and so far I have never seen or heard of a sprouter bag! Persian Quote
