I was considering making a tincture out of sheep sorrel. All I have available to work with is the dried form from the bulk section of a health food store. It looks like there are alot of stems . From what I've read, it's the leaves that are important not the stems. Is it worth it to try and make a tincture out of this? Also, some sources say to leave the tincture for 6 weeks before using it.Is there any other way that will render the tincture just as potent but with less time involved?
