Wood Sorrel Tincture
Product Details
Wood Sorrel, Oxalis stricta, is is a medium-sized wild edible weed that thrives in most areas across Canada and the U.S.
Wood sorrel is an incredible thirst quencher and is refreshing to eat. The leaves, flowers, and immature green seed pods are all edible having a mild sour flavor that some say resemble lemons. I love munching on it every time I pass by it!
Medicinally, wood sorrel can help with the following:
- mouth sores
- sore throats
- fevers
- urinary tract infections
- nausea
- coughs
- swellings
- inflammation
NOTE: due to the oxalic acid, use with caution if you have gout, kidney stones, high blood pressure, rheumatism, arthritis or suffer from hyperacidity. High intake of oxalic acid inhibits the uptake of calcium.
I foraged this plant in central Minnesota.
NOTE: 1 oz bottle with a dropper
I use the folk method for making all my tinctures, which uses no measurements except sizing things up with your eyes. So I put the plant material in a jar and then fill with alcohol.
Dosages -
Tinctures are meant to be used as medicine in small amounts. Add 10-20 drops to your tea, juice, water or directly into your mouth when needed.
Dosages for children are not provided in most herbals. To determine the correct dose you need to consider the size of the child, the ailment, the power of the herb you intend to use, and the adult dosage.
Young's Rule for determining dosage uses the child's age divided by twelve plus the age. The dosage for a 4 year old:
4/12+4 = 4/16 = 1/4 of the adult dose.
