Wish I could take this. I take Warfarin for AFIB. My cardiologist says I should avoid anything with turmeric in it. My wife however, swears by the turmeric she takes every day for her achy joints.

Thanks for the recipe! Have wanted to make this for awhile, and finally bit the bullet today. Can’t wait to try it in a couple weeks! My whole family has a cold right now, wish we could be using it right now.

My little add mind could not read all the long posts

Do you eat it like medicine? Or food as a garnish?

Get her some bee hives for that. Also has a sweet by product.

I very much appreciate this thread , Sharon. Could you please answer vinke's question?

Dave, you can do both. Often folks keep the herbs after straining them out of the liquid , saving them for spices in meats, salad dressing mix, etc. A little goes a long way , though, they are spicy. They can be frozen in baggies for gradual use.

The tincture is what is taken to build healthy immune systems, blood cleanser , improved circulation, and killing pathogens . Myself and many others have been doing this for decades. I am rarely sick.

PF, good point. Honey is amazing medicine too.

Dakota, good for you ! Looks like a great batch you made.

Ok Run, up to date now

Thanks, Sharon.

Sharon, I’m a little confused. You mention chopping all ingredients by hand, but then you say it’s ready for the blender. Do you hand chop then blend it all? The pics of the bottles you made looks like the ingredients are all still chunked up not blended. I appreciate you taking the time to post this with kids school starting mid August I need to get some made

My old drunk uncle used to mix up something like that except he didn't pour off any liquids and called it hot chow-chow.
Put it on red beans and all of his meat.
I swear you just had to pass a spoonful of it over the food to be hot.
He probably used more hot peppers than you with lots of chile petins.

Yote, it really can be done both ways, chopping up in small chunks or blending. Yes I always chop up the hard textured ones first , even if I do blend. Care needs taken in fine chopping horseradish root. It is so dense it can tax greatly a blender. Everything else blends fine. Or just chop the horseradish in small chunks, and blend the rest if desired.

On this batch I did not use my blender, you are correct and observant ! I had the blender shown as an optional tool to use.

If the herbs are wanted as seasonings for salad dressing, casserole or meat dishes, then not using a blender is the way to go.

School season, winter, all good for having some at hand.

As much as I like the spice of hot peppers, I can't handle much heat. I would probably measure on the milder heat side on a scale ! And peppers are just loaded with vitamin C . As well as other nutrients that are super good for the blood and circulation.

Miss Sharon...i eat these daily in life. It was always part of our life in Asia. I guess I had just been a bit run down and forgot it along with complete lack of rest. Now im back up on the horse!!!

I thought many of these great things are enjoyed in the islands .

Now this thread will be easy to find, thanks to the kind Sir who moved it here in the Health Issues area.

Love it Sharron. Will give it a go as soon as I can get the goods gathered up.

Really like seeing reports of folks who use it. Its always so nice to see people feeling better and stronger , using the amazing medicinal wonders of nature for heath and healing. Just as people the world over have done for centuries.

Have you tried grinding the roots then blending? A grinder is how I do horseradish and is pretty simple.

Bob, no I haven’t tried that. Sounds like a good idea. Horseradish and ginger are solid roots that need special handling from the others, I’ve found. Thank you for the idea. I think grinding would work well in the blend of the mix.
