Nutgrass Rhizome Tincture how to apply for best effect


This is the alternative name for (Cyprus rotundus)
I've managed to get this from a UK site at a price point that's at least 5x less than getting the oil shipped in from Australia so worth a shot I feel.

I have wondered this with tinctures: The scientific evidence is based on use of oil. However, because oils are alcohol-soluble, the "good stuff" should be also in the tincture - but strength is unknown. On the other side, alcohol solutions are generally better absorbed to the skin compared with oils. So this might go both ways, being better or not as good. The only way is to try and see.

Basically, the hair should be first "pulled out" = epilated, waxed or removed "to the root" similar way, not shaved, and then Cyprus Rotundus stuff is applied, entering the hair follicles and preventing re-growth. I believe the tincture should work well, but alcohol will dry the skin by removing natural oils. My bet is therefore that it is best to apply the tincture, and after that apply a humidifying "fatty" cream to protect skin from drying. (Alcohol might sting a bit when applied on freshly-epilated skin)

The above is just my thoughts, and I might be wrong, as this is pretty unproved area today. I only base my thoughts on my general knowledge how this kind of stuff may work.
