I recently made a glycerin tincture (properly called a glycerite) using an herbal mixture that boosts the immune system. I use this tincture at the first sign of illness, sometimes combined with colloidal silver, depending on how bad the illness is.
Use 1/2 tsp. 3-5 times a day for children. Use 1 tsp. 3-5 times a day for adults. If the sickness is bad enough, you can even give a dose every hour until improvement.
In this video, I’m making the tincture using Double E Immune Booster. You can also make it using only Echinacea.
