Alcohol in Tinctures and Stephania C.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was wondering if other people have trouble with the alcohol in

tinctures. It makes me feel horrible. Is there any way around this?

I've heard of simmering the tincture in water, but I don't know if

that kills some of the potency of the herb. I do try to get alcohol-

free tinctures, but I don't know if they are as effective as the ones

made in grain alcohol. Any thoughts?

Also, has anyone found a source for the Stephania Cepharantha? I've

found the Stephania Tetrandra online, but I can't find the other one.

It seems like it really matches my symptoms from the description in

HL, especially the neural inflammation, so I would really like to try

to get ahold of it.

I hope everyone is doing well,

Sita.
