First of all, you will want to make certain that you have the right classification of the plant you are using. This is very important. If the tincture calls for impatiens, for example, find out which strain of impatiens. In flower remedies, Impatiens glandulifera is used, and you MUST use this exact flower.

Secondly, you must insure absolute cleanliness. Wash your hands, and rinse them well. Boil all of your utensils in the same quality water you use for the remedy itself. You also will not want the plants for the remedy to touch your hands, even after you have cleaned them. Take a large leaf from the plant to put your pickings on. When you handle them, you might want to take a twig from the plant to move them around with. This will make sure that there are no oils from your skin on the plants you are using for the remedy.
