Yes Peg...the fava tincture is made with brandy, which does by itself cross the blood brain barrier in small doses....do you think a 1/4th teaspoon is small enough when left in the mouth for over 5 minutes and most of it becomes sublingual????
There may be some type of fermentation of the fava tops while in the brandy....someone who is an actual chemist would have to figure that one out for us. I just hope if how it works for me is a dream, that I never wake up! God is good.
