How to Make an Ashwagandha Tincture (Plus Benefits!)
This easy ashwagandha tincture recipe can help with stress relief, immune support, and more!
Servings: 16 ounces
Ingredients
- 3.2 ounces ashwagandha root (by weight)
- 1 and ½ cups 190 proof alcohol (like Everclear)
- ½ cup filtered water
Instructions
- Add the ashwagandha to your jar. Either cut or powdered herb will work.
- Add the alcohol and water next. If they don't cover the herbs then add more water and alcohol mixture just until they do. Use 3 parts alcohol for every 1 part water.
- Put the lid on the jar and store in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks. Shake occasionally during that time.
- Once the tincture is done, strain out the herbs with a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth and compost.
- Add the filtered ashwagandha tincture to dropper bottles and store in a cool, dark place.
Notes
- The standard adult dose is 1-10ml three times a day. This can be adjusted to your personal needs.
- Alcohol-based tinctures last for years when stored properly.
