Hello everyone, been suffering for a long time with depression which led to anxiety and ED unfortunately. I have been trying alot in recent times to try to feel better with my sexual health. Pills, herbs, pumps, weights, rings etc.. but for a long time I have used various herbs that seem to help me to some degree but I always just felt that the effect could be much better if I could somehow make my own herbal extract.
I have a list of herbs I may want to try to use to make my own custom remedy. The question I have is what would be the best way to do this?
I know I can boil the ingredients together or extract them in grain alcohol. The alcohol extract would be more potent I am sure but was hoping for it not to taste like alcohol. Any suggestions?
The other thing is the second step after the first extract of herbs is made.. I wanted to somehow increase the potency. What are my options here?
I really wanted to make something strong that I could either put into a pill or capsule and if that was not the best option to just use it as a liquid.
Should I boil the alcohol extract down to increase the potency? I realize there is a potential for fire when boiling alcohol.. evaporation takes too long so boiling would probably the way I would go with this. Since I never worked with this before I am worried that the boiled down herbs would get sticky in the metal pot making if difficult to work with. If it gets sticky could I somehow freeze the gooey extract in the freezer and then somehow re-powderize it? I guess I could also use the gooey extract and melt it in hot water but measuring the gooey blob would be somewhat difficult. Powder would be easier to deal with. Or I could just take the whole blob of extract and melt it all in hot water and just measure the dosages with the water.. I really could use some advice on this as I have been dying to make this for years and I know it would help my depression from my ED.. Thanks, can't wait to hear your advice and suggestions.
