I'm just looking to bounce this off some other mamas who have made tinctures in the past...

I make my own, quite frequently actually and have had good luck.

I'm wondering, I made a tea when I first found out I was pregnant - it has, among other things, raspberry leaf, oatstraw, nettle, etc.

But, I'm SICK of drinking it - I feel like if I put one more glass to my lips, I'm gonna hurl.

Think I can make it into a tincture? I'm asking b/c I've only ever made single herb tinctures and this would be my first combination.

What about the properties of the herbs? Will I be getting the same benefit if it's in tincture form as if it were in the tea?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

yes you will be getting the same benefits, just a different carrier. the tincture is more concentrated, but you'll be taking less.
