Soak 20g (3/4oz) of the buds in this for 2 weeks, then strain and keep the liquid, which is a 'tincture'. This can then be taken internally in doses of up to 1 teaspoon, 3 times a day. Alternatively, 2 teaspoons of the tincture can be added to a bowl of boiling water, and the vapours inhaled to bring the evaporated constituents of the buds directly in contact with the lung tissue.

Caution: The alcohol in this preparation makes it unsuitable for internal use for children
