Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Has anyone ever heard the term " cold " tincture? The term was used in directions for making Mullein eardrops. A friend asked me if I had ever heard the term. I have searched my books and found nothing. We assumed it refers to the fact that the tincture is not heated in anyway. Makes sense to me.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I don't know if anyone has answered this yet . . . The use of Mullein herb for eardrops is as an infused oil, not an alcohol tincture. I think that someone has confused the terms. You can make either a hot infused oil or the cold method.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I was out of the country for a couple weeks and needless to say behind on my group mail. In response to the email posted, I wondering if they were referring to a cold tincture as in a " cold & sinus " type tincture versus a cold " temperature " tincture. A lot of times, the mullein ear drops are used with a cold or maybe to help with congestion issues. Not seeing the actual directions makes it hard to guess. In all my years of experience and working closely with a very gifted herbalist, I have never heard or read of a tincture made any way other than by a cold temp process. And she does a combo of Western and Chinese traditions and we have made a lot a different types of preparations together along with a few experiments.. Also, no mention in James Green's book as well. Hope you figured this out - if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
