I was inspired by the Youtube Channel that @wendy4 shared [a while back here](https://forum.spells8.com/t/herbal-wisdom-and-a-wild-woman/5158)!

So I started the process of making a Mother Tincture, i.e. a concentrated extract of a plant! 🌿

I still have an abundance of [Lavender](https://spells8.com/lessons/lavender-herbal-witchcraft/), so I used alcohol to extract the nutrients of the plant. I learned that alcohol allows easy absorption of natural components into the bloodstream, and it is also useful for its preservation.

### DIY Lavender Tincture

- Glass jars with cap
- 2 cups vodka
- 1/2 cup organic lavender flowers, dried.

### Instructions

1. Place lavender flowers into glass jar.
2. Pour vodka over flower and place cap securely on.
3. Give a little shake and place out of direct sunlight.
4. Let sit for at least 2 weeks, giving it a little shake once in a while.
5. Strain through a sieve, gently pressing flowers to extract all the goodness. You can strain again through a sieve lined with an unbleached coffee filter if you want.
6. Place in a clean glass container with a tight cap. Keep out of direct sunlight.

### Its Magickal Uses ✨

Lavender favors clairvoyance. It brings harmony and peace to the home and it’s a great purifier. Some people place lavender under the pillow before going to bed to favor a calm, relaxed sleep.
