2 minute read

Ashwagandha is a popular adaptogenic herb that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to promote calmness and balance. One way to consume ashwagandha is by making a tincture. Here's a detailed essay on how to make ashwagandha tincture at home:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of dried ashwagandha root
  • 80 proof alcohol, such as vodka or brandy
  • Glass jar with a tight-fitting lid
  • Cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer

Instructions:

  1. Start by purchasing high-quality, organic ashwagandha root from LAHerb.com
  2. Rinse the ashwagandha root thoroughly and pat it dry.
  3. Cut the root into small pieces or grind it into a powder using a blender or food processor.
  4. Place the ashwagandha root into a glass jar.
  5. Pour the alcohol over the ashwagandha root, making sure it's completely covered. Use a ratio of 1:5 (1 part ashwagandha root to 5 parts alcohol) for a standard tincture.
  6. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
  7. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 4 weeks, shaking it daily to ensure the ashwagandha root is well-infused.
  8. After 4 weeks, strain the tincture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer into a clean glass jar.
  9. Discard the used ashwagandha root.
  10. Label the jar with the date and type of tincture.
  11. Store the tincture in a cool, dark place.

To use the ashwagandha tincture, simply add a few drops to a glass of water or juice and drink it daily. The recommended dosage is typically 2-4 ml (about 40-80 drops) taken up to three times a day. Consult with a healthcare provider before adding any new supplements or herbal remedies to your diet, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or take any medications.

Making your own ashwagandha tincture is an easy and cost-effective way to enjoy the many benefits of this adaptogenic herb. It's also a fun and rewarding way to connect with nature and take control of your health and wellness.
