You need special equipment to extract the oils and the seeds are
tiny.  I don't know if you could make a tincture or not.  Might
contact someone who makes them and find out if the oil is something
that is extracted in a tincture.

HOWEVER, there are potential side effects with EPO.  I'd read up on
them before messing with them.
