hey this is Nathan crane founder of self-reliance mastery and today I'm going to show you how to make your own homemade organic super potent immune boosting natural medicine tincture that is alcohol-free so this is really great for the kids it's really great for the family it's great for yourself especially if you feel any kind of cold coming on if you feel any kind of flu if you feel any symptoms that you're going to be sick or you're already sick this particular mixture is going to boost your immune system it's going to help fight off free radicals and fight off bacteria and viruses it's going to help basically strengthen you give you energy and give your body the ability to heal itself which is what we want right there's no such thing as a medicine out there that's going to heal you why we use natural medicines and such as herbs and vegetables and fruits these natural medicines of the planet is because they allow our system in our body our immune system to do what it does naturally which is to maintain a perfect state of health so if you have the flu if you have a virus if you have symptoms from bacteria or any kind of disease in your body it's simply because your immune system is not strong enough to fight that off you see you can test me or anybody else and we're full of bacteria and viruses all the time the difference is is it affecting you and are you seeing symptoms from it or is your immune system strong enough to battle it off so you don't even notice it you see I work with a lot of experts in an integrative health and integrative medicine and what they all agree on is if you have a very strong fully functioning immune system you won't even have diagnosis such as cancer and these types of diseases autoimmune diseases and this sort of thing so it's really about boosting our immune system at the same time it's about being self-reliant because we can make our own in-home organic medicine natural medicine organic tincture that is anywhere from four to six times more cost-effective so four to six times cheaper than if I go to the store and buy one of these things right the second a should golden sooner the second a ShowMe nice run anywhere from twelve to twenty dollars per bottle depending on the brand that you get so the reality is we can make about four times four to six times that amount for much cheaper actually the same cost if you're saving quite a bit so let me show you what mixture we're going to use today because this is what's really important is the particular types of herbs that you're using my choice of herbs is this double amine e immune booster now these are organic the reason you want organic is because if it's not organic then most likely unless you're growing it yourself or you're getting it from a local farmer you know it's growing organic even if they're not certified reason why organic is because most of time farmers are using pesticides and herbicides and you're getting those chemicals into your bloodstream into your body when you're digesting them when you're taking them or ingesting them when you put in medicine so even though it might be boosting your immune system you're creating more opportunity for your immune system to have to fight off other things like pesticides and herbicides and if it's genetically modified then you get into that whole thing so you want organic you want non-gmo this is a company bulk herb store I have a link to this down below but the reason I use this one is it's organic and a combination is the best it has nettle leaf peppermint echinacea root and echinacea tops so you're getting pretty much all the essence of echinacea that you want in your body you're getting elderberries which are just so powerful for boosting the immune system very rich in antioxidants you're getting Lutheran root and rose hips again all of these are about boosting the immune system biting off free radicals the full of antioxidants they help your body to do what it does naturally which is to stay healthy so this is we're going to need you in a mason jar you can get a couple of these if you want this will make quite a bit this mason jar is going to make a number of these bottles here I reuse a lot of bottles but I always use glass I try never to use plastic because any liquid inside plastic is going to leach the chemicals out of the plastic into your body so you want to use glass whenever you can you can use the droppers you can use the sprays again plastic this is really good to get a sore throat coming on or your family someone around you've got a sore throat Bennett or you want to soothe your throat cough or whatever you can spray it back there see this is this is a bottle I bought of something else and I'm just reusing some of these are brand new more sprays and again you've got dark you've got amber glass anyway try to use glass whenever you can you're going to need a number of these bottles I have different sizes so I don't know exactly what you need but four or five different bottles different sizes whatever you have in order one Amazon for like five ten bucks for a set one not expensive the other thing you're going to need is some alcohol I use alcohol just for cleansing an assignment as I'm working to help keep bacteria out of the tincture some labels you can write on and then label your jars and what we're using is vegetable glycerin now this is 100% pure vegetable glycerin the truth is the research I've done the purest vegetable glycerin is ninety-nine point seven percent because 0.3% is water nine point seven percent is the glycerin I don't think most people understand what vegetable glycerin is and what it is is basically they're separating the glycerol from the vegetables from from the fat from the lipids and they're separating that in a heat extraction process so basically what comes out here is this sweet kind of fatty type of liquid which helps to preserve it also helps to extract the essence the end the the energy the life force that you want from these herbs now an alcohol tincture is going to be a little bit more potent it's going to help to extract a little bit more of the essence from the plants but the vegetable glycerin in my opinion is not only safer for you but it's better for your children because you're not putting alcohol in their bodies and it tastes better my daughter loves it because that's what this one's a little bit sweet so should she you know the dad can have some medicine yeah she knows this is our medicine sharing my medicine cabinet here pretty soon we don't have pharmaceuticals we don't have any painkillers that you buy in stores everything we have is either homemade witch homeopathic it's herbal and the beautiful thing is I'm not done with is you know my daughter's four years old and this is the lifestyle she's had her whole life plant-based diet and natural medicines unfortunately she's never been the doctor for any illnesses she's never had shots or inoculations she hasn't had any kind of any of that and she's one of the healthiest children that that people tell us that they've ever seen and I really believe a big part of it is the fact that we don't take pharmaceuticals we don't take drugs and all we take is natural type medicine so anyway I want to get right into this and the sharing idea it's really easy it's really simple the other thing is that this can take you six weeks until you get your final product or it can take you three days so I'm going to show you the three day version because especially if it's wintertime or whatever you got cold coming on you don't want to wait six weeks the three-day version will get you what you need very quickly it's very potent all right again there's links to everything below this video but let's go ahead hop over the kitchen and I'll show you how to make it okay so what we do is take our jar what I like to do is take a little bit of 70% isopropyl alcohol just dab with tiny bit on my hands you got any cuts on your hands might burn a little bit that's not a big deal then clean out the jar and we're pouring about a teaspoon or tablespoon or so swirl it around real good get all parts of it pour it out on the lid swirl it around pour some on our spoon like this and then dump it up okay so there you really don't have to worry about it too much just a little extra safety precaution make sure your tincture comes out nice and super solid and clean all right next up we're going to go ahead and pour in our herbs to the jar what you want to do is fill it up about halfway if you're using dry herbs now if you're using fresh herbs you're going to want to at least double it now you can go one third of the way like that you're going to get a really good tincture if you want a super potent tincture very powerful go ahead and fill it up about somewhere around halfway close to there just under half look at this we still have half a bag left so in self-reliance mastery there's links that below this video I'm going to show you some other videos which is for our insider members community I'll be creating some other videos of some other very powerful medicines aside from textures you can make from these herbs so you can check that out below and the meantime next thing we do go ahead and take our vegetable glycerin here I just want to take a little and spill it all the way up I made a little bit of a mistake before we do the vegetable glycerin what I like to do and you don't have to do it you've got a little bit ahead of myself you don't have to do what I like to do is heat up a little bit of water to boiling and then let it you know simmer down stop boiling for about 30 seconds for a minute so it's nice and hot and then just coat the herbs just get them a little bit wet some hot water that way it will help open them up expand them and help their healing properties to be released easier during the extraction process so I'm going to heat some water and go ahead and put it on even though I put some glycerin in there already it doesn't matter just shake it up a little bit so I eat some water I'll bring it right back here all right so we're back with the water just got the boiling let it sit for about 30 seconds and I'm going to go ahead and just coat all of our herbs here nice hot water mix it up real good we just want to bring out some of their healing properties just like when you make tea right using hot water to extract the nutrients from the tea it opens it up and allows all the good stuff to come out so just we don't want too much in there just enough to dampen it all a little bit and just like that all right see everything's just a little bit damp just but there's no water running that's what you want the rest of it when you fill it up with our glycerin right to the top leads it's a little bit of space at the top any kind of expansion but with this because we're doing heats not really going to expand too much the herbs will a little bit but they'll actually suck up a lot of glycerin you'll see some of your blisterin actually go down so you can bring it up just right under the lid this is a perfect bottle for this jar so we've got our spoon i disinfected the counter before if you're wondering so you can you know wipe wipe it down without call a few if you're a little bit like me but see we've got this big gap empty space at the top I want to fill that with glycerin I'm going to get some more glycerin I'll be right back don't go anywhere I'll be right back so just need a little extra glycerin here I buy about three or four of these bottles at a time so I've always got some extra now this one jar of tincture is going to last you at least a couple years you and your family to stay healthy there's going to be a lot of tincture trust me it's going to be more than you need probably more than you need which is good you don't ever want to not have enough especially when you if you get any kind of serious cold or flu going on so anyways take your spoon in mix it up real good got to get everything at the bottom up to the top so everything gets coated with the glycerin you mix it up real good you can see it's already soaking some of it up so add some more here it's closer to about one and a half bonds of these for this larger mason jar and again it all depends on how much herbs that you use because we need about a half jar here fold herbs all right looking pretty good there we go everything is mixed up real well all right let's see your lid on then we're going to take it over the stove and I'll show you how to do this in three days so just to give you a quick understanding feed oh now the traditional way is put this in a cupboard keeping away from the light as much as you can and you shake it at least once a day for six weeks that's if you want to do the traditional way really allow it to sit and settle if you don't need it right away just make sure you shake at least once a day it would be ready in four weeks it usually is but if you really want to go the full length of the time really extract everything out let it sit in your cupboard for six weeks shake it once a day let's have a list of so I can show you how to do this in three days all right okay so this takes a little bit of maintenance for three days but then you got your medicine so here's what I got I've got a pot filled with water about half full and in the bottom I just place a rag like this from the bottom to the sides that way when I put my mason jar in here it's not going to break so throw it on stove put the jar right on top of the rag see water comes up to the edge obviously the one coming over and then we're going to go ahead and throw this on about a medium heat until the water is just you don't want to boil you want to be hot hot to the touch but not to boil and you don't want to leave it there for too long so there's two options to do this one is you take a crock pot plug in your crock pot put on the lowest setting put your jar in it same thing with the water and let it sit for three days mixing it at least once a day I don't have a crock pot I don't use a crock pot I just have the thing on the stove so this is the way I do it you can do it this way if you don't have a crock pot you don't want to go buy a crock pot again you don't want it to boil over and you just heat it up three times a day so when I wake up in the morning first thing I do when I'm making my breakfast I'll turn this on let it warm up get too hot and I'll turn it off and let it sit in the afternoon I'll do the same thing in the evening for a good about do the same thing I just let it heat up I'll take it out like this mix it like this don't take the lid off just mix it like this three times a day heat it up three times a day and go through all three days so that the morning of the fourth day is when it's going to be ready okay easy let's head over for some final wrap-up discussion so at the end of the three days what you're going to have is all your herb mixture right we need to is take it out and run it through either a nut milk bag or cheesecloth any kind of cheese cloth type bag nut milk bags are great you can get these on Amazon to get a few dollars and you don't want to pour the whole thing in there at once what you want to do is pour in about quarter of it at a time only fill up half this bag with your herbs in your liquid and then just spend some time squeezing it really good squeeze it really good to get all the liquid out do that into like a bowl or a jar or something squeeze it all out and compost your herbs or reuse them for something else right don't throw them in the trash put them in your garden they're going to create a lot of really good new transfer for your soil once you finish with that you're going to have your bowl with your liquid right get a little fun a little paper funnel whatever I make my funnels out of sheet of paper just tape it pour your funnel put your funnel end in here pour it in and you've got your medicine mmm oh it's so good now I label it a move immune booster and then I date it for two years some people dated for one year what I've seen is two years is fine you decide it's up to you you know you can taste a little bit after a year or two years if it still tastes good tastes fine you don't see the issues with it you know you're going to be fun if you notice any rancidity or anything like that obviously don't take but usually with a vegetable glycerin what I seen the last up to two years so again this bottle homemade with the immune immune booster so we're talking what one two three four five six seven really powerful herbs costs four times as cheap to make than it does to go buy echinacea one herb right we've got two parts of echinacea plant in here so not only is it cheaper for you to do it's really fast and easy it's better for your health it's better for yourself it's better for the planet right you're reusing bottles you're making it at home you're supporting organic cars you even better you don't want to buy this grow your own herbs at home but if you do want this is the best mixture I've seen on the
