    Hi,

    Here is the 'correct' way of making a herbal infusion.

    Standard Infusion

    Boil 32 parts water, remove from heat, and steep one part(by weight)herb in
    the water for
    20-30 minutes. Strain, and pour sufficient water through the herb while it
    is in the
    strainer to return the volume of tea to 32 parts.

    It is important to not let the tea stand for more than a day, and the tea
    should be well strained. The eyes are rather delicate.

    If anyone is interested, then here is how you make a herbal tincture.

    You always use 50 grams of dried herb to a 750ml bottle of vodka. With some
    herbs 50g will be a small handful, and with some you are going to stuff the
    bottle. Remove enough vodka to accommodate the herb.
    You then keep the vodka+herb for 14days at least. Bang the bottle 7 times in
    the morning and 7 times in the evening. On a carpet works well and be
    careful to not bang to hard:)
    You can shake the bottle in between, and direct sunlight is important. The
    sunlight at this stage will not cause damage to the herbs.
    After the 14 days you can strain the herbs. This tincture should be kept in
    a dark place in a glass bottle. The vodka bottle will work well. It can be
    stored for years. 10 to 50 drops can be taken 3 times per day. 20 drops
    should do. The drops should be placed under the tongue for a minute or 2 and
    them swallowed. Dilute if it burns to much.
    Remember to label the bottle and add the date.

    Do not hesitate to contact me if anything is unclear. Maybe off list will be
    better if it is going off topic.

    Best Regards

    Johan

    Jon, as far as the ratio of herb to water is concerned, I have used a small
    handfull at a time for a pot of the tea and then diluted it in the eyebath
    and found it to work well but can use your own intuitive function for that.
    I tested it for allergy first with a higher ratio of water the very first
    time because I have a lot of allergies.

    Hi Ben,

    I'm not sure about the ratio of herb to water (I've never tried myself),
    but will be interested in what people say as I've been thinking about
    giving it a go.

    However, I would have thought the way of making the eyebath would be to
    boil the herb in some water and then strain with cheese cloth or
    something similar. I don't think putting a ground up herb in your eye
    would do it much good. Please correct me if I'm wrong people!

    Cheers,

    Jon

    Hello Everyone,

    I remember this came up before but I tried searching
    the archives to see if there was any response. What
    strength or ratio do you use eyebright to water for
    the strengthening the eyes exercise. Can you use the
    dried herb, ground it and put into water??

    Any info from anyone thats tried it would be great.
    Sorry If Im repeating an old thread through.

    Never been very good with knowing what to do with
    herbs and tinctures.

    Many Thanks

    Ben
