Thanks! That’s helpful. I will use what I have for this batch – maybe a half batch and then, if we like it, I’ll make my own tincture. Thanks for recommending the book. I’ll check to see if the library has it.

Hi, Brook. Yes, prepared tinctures to run $7 and up for licorice root extract. But you can purchase a whole pound of bulk organic licorice root for about $9 which will make a lot of tincture. For making tinctures, I refer to The Herbal Medicine-Maker’s Handbook by James Green. I have a copy, but I know they have a copy at my library, too. Making a tincture is very, very simple, requiring only bulk herb, alcohol (usually just vodka) and a scale. Chop, soak, shake, wait. You don’t need to be afraid of it, especially if you aren’t swallowing the result.

Hi! Thanks so much for this recipe! I can’t wait to try it. I’m wondering about the licorice root extract. It says 2 oz. The 1 oz. bottle I have was around $8. This makes for an expensive mouth wash if I have to use 2 bottles of the stuff. Do you have a source for the extract or know of a less expensive brand? Thanks!

I don’t think I have the mouth muscles to swish for 20 minutes! LOL!

I tried oil pulling and it was not something I can do, mostly because you have to swish for such a long time. I’ve seen some people say 20 minutes. 20 minutes without talking? Not in my house! 20 minutes is longer than I take showering, doing my hair AND getting dressed in the morning!

Have you heard of oil pulling? http://www.oilpulling.com/

I somehow ran across this article a couple weeks ago. When you get a minute, I’d love to hear what you think. I think the hardest part would be doing it on an empty stomach… I’ve still gotta have that morning coffee.

Hi! Got your comment on our blog and am sorry to hear you are currently experiencing unemployment. I found this post interesting and thought you’d be interested in the link I shared recently on http://www.Econobusters.com – http://www.econobusters.com/?p=830

It’s a link to a dental care system that is supposed to keep cavities at bay! It also recommends xylitol!

[...] Rose went first and I chatted with the doctor while he examined her teeth. We talked about my recent education and excursion into traditional foods, local, grassfed, organic, raw etc. He didn’t scoff and give me “that look” (you know, the one the doctor gives you when you say you don’t want the Crestor, but thanks anyway) both he and his nurse listened, asked questions and were interested! Does it take a lot more time? Is it more expensive? Where do you get foods like that? He was so receptive and accepting that I even ventured to tell him about the tooth rinse I had made! [...]
