Question:
Hey all, me AGAIN!!!
I need to make a gem essence, but I have a problem. I suffer from a strong intolerance to yeast and sugar, which means that I cannot consume any alcohol, seeing as it is all made up of these things!!!
Now, in gem or flower essences, alcohol is used to preserve them? Is it diluted down enough for me to assume it will have no ill effects on me do you think? Or could I just use a short-term dose that won't need keeping and so avoid the alcohol all together? Anyone know?
Cheers! x
Hi Yarnie
For a short term remedy you can omit the alcohol and just use the water. Bearing in mind the preservative nature of alcohol is missing please use distilled water only to cut down the possibility of bacteria.
Keep in a cold place too (as its very hot at the moment) a fridge is recommended.

Thanks Binah, I'm hoping i'll only need it short term anyway!!!
I'll give it a go [8D]
Hi Yarnie
The alcohol in all the remedies will I believe vaporize if put into hot drinks ~ do you think this may help you a little.
If you decide to make your own essances ie; crystal...you can use Cider Vinigar instead of alcohol, I think most good health shops sell it, not 100% sure of that though!

you can also use vegetable glycerine as a preservative. if you just use water, it will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge, especially if you avoid letting the dropper touch your mouth.

I'll probably give the cider vinegar a go, but i need to buy some dropper bottles.
When you leave your crystals in the water, those of you who make your own, how long do you leave it for ? One of my books says 2-3 hours, one says at least 12 hours!!!?!
Also, one says it should be left in the sunlight on a morning when there are no clouds?! Wasn't much help to me today when I needed to make it and there was a grey sky?! lol :D
