Bidens Alba grows like a weed (🤣) here in Florida. It is a wonderful pollinator attractor and the birds love its seeds. I always reserve areas for this wonder daisy-like native in our yards. Read an entire article on this amazing plant by clicking "read more" below. RECIPE: Making a Broad-spectrum Antimicrobial Tincture with Bidens Alba Bidens should be tinctured using fresh leaves. The whole plant is active so you can use the seeds, leaves, stem, and roots if you like. It’s still early in the season and I am hoping to get another harvest of leaves before Fall, so I only took the leaves, flowers, and immature seeds in my harvest today. Ingredients: • 4 cups of freshly picked Bidens leaves, compressed • 6 tbsp. of pepper, freshly ground (omit if the person has diarrhea) Note that dried herbs and spices lose their effectiveness over time, so if your pepper is old, buy fresh whole pepper berries for this recipe. See caution below. • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely grated • 100 proof Vodka to fill a quart jar Directions: • Place fresh Bidens leaves, pepper, and ginger in a wide mouth quart jar. • Fill with vodka or whiskey with the highest alcohol content you can find. In BC we are limited to 40% alcohol and this is sufficient. But if you can buy vodka or whiskey with a higher alcohol content you can use that. • Macerate for 6 to 8 weeks, shaking the jar as often as you think of it. Strain. • Bottle in colored glass bottles and cap tightly. Store in a cool dry place. The tincture should last several years. • Dose: 45 to 90 drops in water up to 4 x daily.
