Where do you find 90-5% alcohol for tincturesWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
ever-clear is the best !.!.!.but a real good vodka will work!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
In making your own there are varying approaches!. I use 180 proof (90%) grape and grain alcohol!. I know some herbalists that use vodka or brandy for all of their tincture!. And I've used them in a pinch when i run out of the alcohol!. Most herbalists will use the 180 proof!. Some of the more resinous plants like Yerba Santa or Grindelia require a higher % of alcohol to extract the constituents!. 40% of vodka may not be enough!.
Here's my resource I use
Alchemical Solutions is an organic distillery based out of Oregon!. They have grape and grain!. I use their grape alcohol as it has a sweeter taste, but it's more expensive!. If you know others who want to order it, it's more cost effective to get the 5 gallon as the shipping is killer!.

Sorry I don't recommend alcohol tinctures!. I suggest herbal teas and if that doesn't work good enough then go to the herbal pill and capsules! If you really want tinctures then try
