HERBS FOR YOUR SKIN CARE: AROMATIC HERBAL VINEGAR AND HERBAL VINEGAR TINCTURE
Aromatic Herbal Vinegar
Internally use as a healthy tonic drink diluted in water, as a salad dressing and also used as medicine instead of taking herbal tinctures.
Externally it can be used in the bath, for compressing, in cosmetics, facial steam baths, inhalations, body rubs and aromatic waters
Method: fresh herbs 1-1/2 cups or dried herbs 3/4 cup, add 2-1/2 cups of apple cider vinegar. Place herbs or petals, leaves, seeds or bark into a wide neck bottle. Cover with apple cider vinegar and leave in direct sunlight for two weeks. Strain or filter then bottle, seal and label. When used as a facial toner always dilute 1 part vinegar to 8 parts of water.
Herbal Vinegar Tincture
Are prepared using exactly the same method as tinctures made from alcohol.
In preference I do prefer to work with vinegar for it is a food with a lot of healing benefits on its own. When herbs are infused in vinegar it can only be amplified. Vinegar is cost affective and easily assimilated and has a gentle affect to the body.
