Great thanks so much for the information Liza, very helpful!
I just did another tincture with the root with 1:3 , 1:1 was difficult as i thought the roots should at least be covered. I am looking forward to seeing the difference in the two tinctures (the folk method vs the 1:3). With the 1:3 I left a little room for some glycerine to sweeten it up a little once it is ready. The flowerheads I have dried about a half a pound and I will not do more, I will use them as a pretty addition to dried teas 🙂
