In reply to Alon. The root is dried. If you're making your own from fresh it should first be dried before using it in the tincture. You can use fresh but it's much harder to correctly gauge the moisture content to prevent spoilage.

The plant material you are using in the recipe, is it dry or fresh?
Suppose I have a fresh root of ashvaganda, cutted into a small pieces, what should be a ratio weight to alcohol and wich proof?
Thanks!

In reply to Debbie. The alcohol is the same as in any other tincture.

When extracting using alcohol, like everclear, how do you know that the effect you receive from the tincture is the root or the alcohol?

I was taking ashwaghanda for a couple years and started to develop tachycardia. I never equated it to the ashwaghanda until I found some research that said you shouldn’t take it for more than 90 days. Because it boost men’s testosterone I think it was messing with my hormones (I have PCOS) and was making my heart beat too fast. One I stopped taking it, the tachycardia stopped. If it was the cause I’m sad because it did help with my anxiety and stress. So it might be a good idea to take breaks from it now and then to let your body reset.
