GlycerinÂ
from page 44 of Herbal Healing Mod 1 handouts 2012
Glycerine is also naturally sweet, and this is another feature that makes it excellent for children’s tinctures, since it can help to conceal the taste of bitter herbs. It is completely nontoxic, and may have detoxifying properties of its very own. Also, since it is a natural byproduct of fat breakdown, and not a sugar, it does not raise blood sugar despite its sweetness.
