Echinacea Tincture and Red Clover Infusion


So, I began my journey into the world of herbal medicine about a month or so ago with Susun Weed.

I've made allies with Nettle leaf and Red Clover. Every other day I drink a cup or more of one or the other herb infusion that I let sit overnight on my kitchen counter.

The nettle infusion is a bit grainy to the taste and little like spinach. Red clover is more like a lighter lipton tea. That's probably not an accurate description, but it's the closest I can think of.

Both are pretty tolerable without any sweetener.

Since I've been drinking them, my menstrual periods are not as severe. I had no cramps the last time, the duration was shorter, and my heaviest days were not as heavy as in the past.

For all women out there you might consider doing this.

I've also prepared an echinacea tincture to prepare for the cold/flu season.

The first photo is of the echinacea tincture. The next is of the red clover.
